Job overview
Holmer Green Senior School is an 11 to 18, exciting and successful school that is currently expanding to seven forms of entry. As a school we are in the top 10% of schools nationally for KS5 progress and in the top 20% for KS4 progress. Our aim is to ensure all our students strive for the best university and apprenticeship places and therefore need teachers who can support them to get there.

What we can offer:
