Deputy Headteacher job summary

Woodeaton Manor School is a Foundation Special School located four miles to the north east of the city of Oxford. The school serves young people aged 7 to 18 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH) and where many also have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Following an Ofsted inspection in October 2023, where the school was judged to be Inadequate, the school has undergone a period of significant change in terms of both leadership and governance; and where a significant amount of work has already been undertaken to rapidly improve the school in all areas.

The Propeller Academy Trust, a special school multi-academy trust, has been named by the Department for Education as the school’s sponsor and it is anticipated that the school will join the Trust in 2025.

The Interim Executive Board is now seeking to appoint a new Deputy Headteacher. Working alongside and supporting our Headteacher, the successful candidate will have an in-depth understanding of the needs of our young people, be someone who is able to lead and inspire staff and who strives for excellence. The Deputy Headteacher will be fully committed to supporting our students to enable them to realise their fullest potential and who will help us take our school to “Good” and beyond.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate, and, in return, we can offer:

• a welcoming environment
• an enthusiastic and dedicated team of staff
• pupils who are proud of their school and who are keen to learn
• support from the Governing Body and the CEO and leadership team within The Propeller Academy Trust
• Coaching for the senior leadership team
• A commitment to enabling high quality continuing professional development
