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.

As a consistently oversubscribed, expanding school we are seeking to appoint a Head of Social Sciences. Thisrole requires

a specialism in Psychology. The successful candidate will be responsible for the delivery of high quality teaching and

learning for one of our most popular Post 16 subjects. Psychology has a trend of year on year improvement, and we are

looking for somebody with the skills and passion to help the subject grow this success.

More widely this role will involve leading the Social Sciences Faculty. This will include the leadership of Business, Sociology

and Law. This will involve leading four members of staff to ensure high quality provision and outcomes for these subjects.

The faculty has recently seen significant growth and success. Successful candidates will continue this pattern to ensure

the success of some of our most popular subjects.

Much of the delivery of the subjects is situated in our dedicated Sixth Form Centre. The Warriner Sixth Form is a

purposeful, supportive and growing environment to work in for both students and staff. We welcome applications from

those wishing to make a meaningful contribution to the Sixth Form.
