Job Description

Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in Langham Oaks School. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about us.

Langham Oaks School is a thriving special school providing 69 places for boys, aged 10-16 with "Outstanding" (Ofsted 2017) residential provision for 28 pupils. It is located in a small village in north-east Essex, six miles from Colchester. The school currently resides in a 19th century house with extensions for classrooms, but there are exciting plans in progress to move to a new and specially designed building in the grounds.

The School is a specialist provision for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs (SMEH). Langham Oaks is more than a school; it is a community based on exceptionally strong and trusting relationships between children and adults. Pupils are capable of learning and achieving, but have experienced many complex issues preventing them from engaging in learning and making progress. Staff from both the day and residential teams work proactively and collaboratively to develop and deliver the best bespoke package for each individual pupil.

I hope, as you read further, you decide that Langham Oaks could be the place where you would like to continue your career and that we will receive your application in due course.

Yours sincerely

Gary Corbett

Headteacher
