A SECONDARY school in Oxford will introduce 'important changes' to staff roles.

Cheney School in Headington has sent a letter to parents informing them of new position appointments, including 'heads of student progress' and 'pastoral leader'.

The letter cited 'important changes to the senior leadership team roles and responsibilities', and said this would 'ensure the most efficient running of the school'.

It said changes will be introduced at the start of the next school year in September.
