ABOUT THE SCHOOL
OSA is a vibrant, welcoming, co-educational secondary academy with a committed, professional and hardworking team of staff and governors. With a clear vision of Opportunity, Success and Ambition, the school aims to create opportunities through excellent teaching and an inspiring enrichment programme, so that all students can enjoy success, both socially and academically.
This is an exciting time in the history of the school as we are set to begin a significant multi-million pound refurbishment programme that will transform the learning environment for the whole school community. With the appointment of a new Headteacher in September 2018, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a friendly, supportive and dedicated team and play a key role in the school’s development.
We have strong links with the community, including membership of a post-16 consortium of five local secondary schools, allowing us to provide an outstanding, fully comprehensive programme of education and opportunities for our Sixth Form students.
Hatfield is easily accessible by both road and rail, with the A1(M), M1 and M25 motorways nearby, and the Hatfield train station less than 10 minutes’ walk from the school.
The academy is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the DBS.

Thank you for your interest in Onslow St Audrey’s School.
You would be joining OSA at an incredibly exciting time. We have recruited a fantastic group of teachers, leaders and support staff which has had a significant impact on the quality of provision, attitude to learning and attendance. This year’s results have been excellent and represent the third year of improvement in progress and achievement.
We have increased our numbers in the Sixth Form and the school is continuing to expand. This expansion has led to additional funding to build a new Science block, play areas and car park which will begin during the Autumn term 2020. We are also due to undertake a land sale which will provide us with a capital investment to build a new sports hall, 4G Astroturf pitch, social areas and some internal school projects.
Our last Ofsted inspection (May, 2019) recognised the positive changes that had taken place to date and this was reflected in the ‘Good’ judgements for Leadership, Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare and Sixth Form. This was reinforced by the Challenge Partners review in November 2019 where we were rated as ‘effective’ in all areas.
I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher at OSA and the key to our continued improvement is recruiting the very best staff. We have worked hard to improve staff well-being and reduce workload in order to give staff the opportunity to thrive and flourish in their work environment.
We are part of the Danes Educational Trust and we offer a wide range of CPD opportunities and an excellent NQT and RQT programme of support.
