Holte School is an oversubscribed, diverse, multi-racial, 11-18 community school and are one of only 8 schools across the country to be recognised as a ‘National IQM Inclusion Champion’ school. The school is on a shared site with both a primary and a special school, with plans to develop our sixth form facilities. The school's ethos emphasises high quality teaching to achieve excellence and enable our students to maximise their potential. We have the highest expectations around behaviour and standards, and this is achieved through working alongside passionate and dedicated colleagues who share this vision.

Our young people are proud of the school and their community, and have high aspirations that we see reflected in their conduct and engagement. We actively promote staff wellbeing, supporting colleagues in what is a challenging yet rewarding profession. We are awaiting the publication of our recent Ofsted Inspection, which we believe recognises the many strengths of our school.

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent spoken English is an essential requirement for the role.
