The students at Woodham deserve the highest quality of teaching and pastoral care; the successful candidate will be able to deliver both. We constantly strive to get better at everything that we do, but this is achieved in a warm and friendly environment.

At Woodham you really feel that your personal career ambitions are valued, and there are copious CPD opportunities and pathways for progression.” (staff member March 2021)
