The Federation comprises two special schools and one 19-25 specialist College in Birmingham. The schools are LA maintained, whilst the College is an Independent Specialist Provider, with its own Board of Trustees. The College is in a soft Federation with the two schools.
Victoria School
Victoria School is an all age 2-19 special school based in Northfield; supporting pupils with cognition and learning needs, profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), physical disabilities and complex medical health and learning needs. We cater for 228 pupils and are extremely proud of our provision and whole school community.
Victoria College
Victoria College is based on the same site in Northfield. We support young people with PMLD and complex medical and health needs. The college opened in 2013 and we have 31 learners on roll.
Cherry Oak School
Cherry Oak is a Primary Special School for children aged 4-11 years and is based in Selly Oak. There are currently 112 pupils on roll. Our pupils have Speech, Language and Communication Difficulties and/or Cognition and Learning Difficulties. Approximately half of our pupils are diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum.
The Federation’s vision is to ‘inspire and empower students through collaborative working and to promote their holistic development.” Our values statement is “We R.I.S.E Together – Respect, Inspire, Support, Empower”.
The Board of Governors is seeking to appoint an inspirational Assistant Headteacher to join our committed staff team and to work in collaboration with the Executive Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team.
We are rightly proud of our Federation and each setting. We’re looking for the right person to lead a vibrant, highly committed and caring community where children are at the very heart of all that we do. Our recent Ofsted inspection (June 2024) found that:
• “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well.”
• “Relationships between staff and pupils are highly positive. Pupils’ individual needs, such as behavioural, communication, physical and sensory needs, are supported exceptionally well.”
• “The school has designed a highly ambitious curriculum for all pupils. At the heart of this curriculum, is a focus on supporting pupils’ communication, independence and physical needs.”
• “Behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary. Staff know the needs of individual pupils and learning environments are purposefully designed to support pupils’ behaviour and sensory needs.”
Our students have told us the following:
• “I've been here for a long time and the school has helped me be more independent, help others and develop my confidence.”
• “The staff are very friendly and help you an awful lot to learn. I would recommend it for anyone with special needs.”
• “We help each other to get a better education through lots of different activities.”
