At Oak
Bank, we take pride in being more than just a school—we are a close-knit
community that operates with a family-like culture. Placing the child at the
centre of everything we do, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact and
changing lives. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our Outstanding
learning community status, as recognized by Ofsted in both 2015 and 2019.
As a special school
catering to pupils with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties,
including associated challenging behaviours, we understand the importance of
creating a supportive and nurturing environment. Many of our students have
additional special educational needs, such as autistic spectrum disorder (ASD),
attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), and speech, language, and
communication difficulties.
Our team at Oak Bank are not just educators; they are confident and skilled individuals who build positive relationships, break down barriers, and help students build self-esteem. We are proud to say that through their dedication, our pupils achieve exceptionally well academically, even from lower-than-expected starting points.
Your
interest in joining our remarkable team is truly appreciated, and it speaks
volumes about your commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of
young individuals facing unique challenges.
We are always
looking for the best individuals to contribute significantly to our continued
success as a leading SEMH provision and National Behaviour Hub, as recognized
by the Department for Education.
