Committed to the success of each of our students

Loxford School is a diverse, inclusive and confident school delivering a high quality education for each student. We aim to instil in our students, confidence, resilience and a positive mindset, delivered in an educational environment that emphasises traditional standards of uniform, discipline and respect.

As part of the Loxford School Trust, Loxford School is an outstanding institution and a wonderful place to work. We are characterised not only by high academic standards and care and support for pupils, but also by the strength of the dedicated staff team, who have an enviably high level of expertise and who help to prepare our students so that they are capable of achieving their goals and ambitions in an ever-changing world. 

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced senior school leader, who fully shares our vision of inclusivity combined with excellence, to lead Loxford School through the next stage of its development. With the space to innovate and build on the unique character and inclusive ethos of Loxford School, you will have the support of dedicated staff, the CEO, members, trustees and governors of the Loxford School Trust, for continued improvement and growth.

To be successful you will need to be a dynamic, outstanding, and outward-facing practitioner, keen to share and collaborate with others, and capable of inspiring commitment from the rest of the team. As an excellent communicator who is approachable and effective at building relationships and partnerships throughout the Trust, you will share our commitment to the academic success and personal growth of every student, with the determination and resilience needed to fulfil the demands of leading a large inner-city school through the challenges of the broader educational climate. Above all, you will have a proven track record that prepares you to build innovatively on the many types of excellence already demonstrated by Loxford School, while articulating a strategic vision in a way that ensures the continued support of all stakeholders.
