RUTH HARDING - HEAD TEACHER
Responsibilities: Finance & Staffing, Premises, Health & Safety and School Improvement Committees

I have worked at Oakleigh School since 1994. During my long career I have been responsible for leading on Autism and became an Assistant Head managing the Acorn Provision from 2005. During my time at  Acorn it expanded  onto  the site of Colindale School, to allow for an additional 32 places. This was extremely exciting and challenging. I joined the Governing body in September 2013. 

In September 2015 I took on the challenge of Acting Headteacher where I fully immersed myself into the role and set a high expectation that all the children at Oakleigh will receive outstanding teaching, as I am passionate about this. In September 2017 I became substantive Head and I am committed to continue making Oakleigh outstanding.
