About Oakwood
Oakwood is a SEN School specialising in the education of SEMH students. Set in 30 acres of grounds and woodland in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside. The school has been purpose built to cater for the requirements and needs of the pupils we support and offers fantastic facilities for every child. We are a fairly new school with big ambitions and an ethos of putting every child first. We support a range of young SEMH pupils from the ages of 8-18 across our two sites based at our Oakwood Community School and our Cedarwood site within Leicester City.
We have a no blame culture where you are encouraged to be creative. At Oakwood we believe that treating everyone equally and developing a culture of mutual respect is essential to create a bond between staff and pupils and between pupils and their peers. We also uphold those values that help everyone embrace children whose backgrounds involve different faiths, lifestyles, and beliefs.
We are immensely proud that our staff enjoy their work and enjoy coming to school. We strongly believe that by caring for our staff and providing the right work life balance, you in turn help to produce a happier environment, with a more productive team and a better connection with our students.
