You will work closely with teachers, families, and the wider pastoral team, offering support, guidance, and professional insight to help ensure positive outcomes for every student.

Our strong, inclusive reputation means that Wood Green School is oversubscribed. We are a 11-18 Academy school in the thriving town of Witney, 10 miles west of Oxford. We believe strongly in a culture of mutual respect and positive relationships, our values underpin everything we do.
