Oak Wood School was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in May 2022. It is a truly inclusive, mixed, multi-ethnic 11-18 school that embraces all aspects of comprehensive education. The curriculum is well balanced and reflects the needs of all our students and the local community.

We believe our best resources are our teachers. There is a popular and thriving programme of professional development in the department and across the school at all levels and colleagues have the opportunity to develop personally and professionally through our membership of organisations such as the PiXL club and the Hillingdon Learning Partnership (HLP). The school also offers a comprehensive induction programme and excellent promotion prospects. Colleagues benefit from a commitment to staff well-being and are provided with several schemes to support them maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. This post would be appropriate for an ECT or a more experienced teacher – we will also consider applications from candidates who would request a part-time role.
