Oaklands is an ‘outstanding’ special school serving the London Borough of Hounslow that provides specialist education to students with severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple difficulties and autism aged 4-19. We have a Primary school (New Oaks), and a Secondary school (High Oaks). We are based across two different sites with both our school buildings offering state of the art facilities for our students and we serve a socially and ethnically diverse population, with children coming from within Hounslow and the surrounding Boroughs.

We are interested to hear from qualified teachers (QTS/QTLS) who are already working in special education and looking for a change,  NQT's  and those who work mainstream but are considering branching out into special education.  All teachers are invited to come along and see our school and find out more about what its like working here.

We value our employees and offer excellent training and support along with a pension scheme,  Employee Assistance Programme and other well-being benefits.
