If you are seeking a life in the country with easy access to Oxford, London and Birmingham, The Warriner School is the ideal location for you. We are situated in the North Oxfordshire village of Bloxham, only a five minute drive from the historic market town of Banbury.

We also benefit from a 120 acre working farm which is utilised for teaching purposes across the whole range of subjects.  This is also the platform for our sixth form students to prepare for careers in the veterinary field with past students being offered university places based on this alone.

As part of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust we offer excellent opportunities for career progression and CPD. We have a very supportive ethos and as such our community looks after each other, both staff and students.  Student behaviour across the school is very good and students are encouraged to reach their full potential by our dedicated staff.

The Warriner School enjoys a good reputation locally, with dedicated colleagues and enthusiastic students. Staff have high expectations for all students and work enthusiastically to continue raising attainment and achievement.

We are proud of the inclusive nature of The Warriner School, where children of all abilities feel equally valued and are given the guidance and support they need to flourish. We work relentlessly to ensure that students make exceptional levels of progress.

Following the promotion of the existing post holder, we are seeking to appoint a Deputy Head of School who is experienced, dynamic and has excellent leadership skills. The role will be both challenging and rewarding in equal measure. We are looking for a successful and passionate leader to take up this exciting position.
