About Oakwood
Oakwood is a SEN School specialising in the education of SEMH, SEN and MLD students. We are a relatively new school with big ambitions and an ethos of putting every child first.

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 the students you teach.
