We can offer you:

We welcome enquiries from everyone and value diversity in our workforce.

Oswald Road is a 'Good' school and our recent Ofsted inspection (September 2023) highlighted our commitment to staff wellbeing:

"The school has acted decisively to understand the impact of workload on staff’s well- being. Consequently, the school has responded to staff’s unique work pressures and taken steps to better support staff across the school. This means that staff feel valued and are proud to work at the school."
