Wood Green is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy school in the thriving town of Witney, close to the Cotswolds and with excellent transport links to Oxford and London. Our strong reputation and results improving year-on-year have led to a rapid rise in student applications. We believe strongly in a culture of mutual respect and strong relationships, underpinned by our LEARNWell values. Our school mission is "to develop exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded young people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world". This demonstrates our commitment to the whole child, academically and personally. We are now looking for a talented and dynamic leader to develop strategically our Personal Development provision, and to work closely with the Headteacher, Deputy Head of Curriculum, Deputy Head of Inclusion and other Senior Leaders and Governors to ensure that we achieve our clear mission. This is a full-time post. We are looking for someone:

• With a clear vision for outstanding Personal Development in our school, to inspire all students, staff and parents & carers
• Who can lead effectively, working with and through other senior and middle leaders
• Who wants to keep learning and growing throughout their career
• Who is committed to helping all our young people to be exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world
What we will offer:
• A school that values the whole child
• A school where staff 'value the care and consideration that the school takes regarding their workload' (Ofsted October 2024) and who trust each other
• Access to high quality CPD, to help you to grow as a leader
• A genuine commitment to staff wellbeing - wellbeing is a core value and staff wellbeing is one of our strategic priorities. We care about our staff as teachers and as people.
