Vision and Values
The vision for Holly Lodge is encapsulated in three words: Ambition, Opportunity and Community. We believe that every child, regardless of their background or starting point, is entitled to a world-class education in the best that has been thought, said and made, and that they should be equipped for joining the great conversations of humankind, shaping the future and living truly rewarding and meaningful lives. We believe in the power of expertly developed, subject specialist curriculum, alongside research-informed teaching approaches, high expectations for behaviour, and excellent pastoral care in achieving this vision. We are ambitious for the experience of our staff as well as our students: in terms of well-being, professional development and career progression. At Holly Lodge there is no written marking of books, no written reports and no graded lesson observations: we believe in stripping away performative documents and activities that have little impact, in order to make time for the things that really make a difference. We believe that the key to staff wellbeing is sensible workload and a positive professional culture, and we place these at the heart of everything we do.
If you share our values and want to be part of a team which champions ambition, opportunity and community, then please see our applications pack for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.

“Underpinning the strong progress made in many subjects, and especially in English, is the rapid development of students’ literacy and language skills. Students make particularly impressive gains in their reading skills and in their general interest in and enjoyment of literature. ‘We all read every night’, said one Year 9 boy browsing through the very well-stocked shelves of the school’s large library, before explaining to the inspector why he loved the books of Roald Dahl.”
