At Oakwood we have a no blame culture where you are encouraged to be creative in your delivery and thinking. Applications are welcome from colleagues with either mainstream or SEND experience, with appropriate training provided for all staff.

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. 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.
