Job overview

We encourage you to read our website very carefully and familiarise yourself with our 2014 Ofsted report, our prospectus, candidate information pack and application form for the post. What will be clear to you is that you are applying to an extremely successful school and one with a decidedly clear ethos of achievement. We moved, in November 2012, into a brand new £80 million school. The school became an Academy in September 2013 and was recognised by the Department for Education as a Teaching School in 2015. In 2016, the school’s results profile placed it in the top 5% of schools nationally for the fifth consecutive year. The school is committed to developing its teachers and to fostering the development of outstanding teaching. The school is a small and personalised community which is committed to creating careers for people. It is experienced in supporting NQTs and indeed enjoys this aspect of staff development but it has had equal success in fostering the careers of colleagues who join having taught in other schools. 

Teachers provide outstanding Design and Technology teaching. There are generous resources and all Design and Technology teachers have their own large and stunningly equipped workshops which benefit from state of the art machinery and tools. The environment is dynamic and has its own library, CAD/CAM workshop and design gallery. Students study GCSE Product Design in vertical teaching groups comprising of students in Years 9, 10 and 11. This is common practice across all GCSE option subjects and it is enormously successful.

An application form is available from the school’s website: http://www.hollandparkschool.co.uk/school/train-and-teach-with-us. Early application is encouraged as we will seek to interview and appoint of receipt. The closing date for applications is Monday 27th February.

Leaders and teachers at Holland Park believe in the value of detailed planning, of creative, exciting, distinctive lesson ideas that seek not merely to be functional journeys through subject matter, but transformative learning experiences. They know that successful learning is not possible without rigorous and thorough methods of assessment. Teachers recognise that behaviour management is rooted in quality relationships within the context of firm boundaries, students need to believe that teachers take warm and genuine interest in them. Emotional intelligence, warmth and sensitivity is central to this post. Our work in culturing a motivated and committed workforce has been recognised in the award of IIP platinum (2020).

Our employees are the most important resource in the school and we take our appointments very seriously indeed. At the same time, we also know that applicants are making a choice and that when leaders and teachers share the ethos of a school, learning is most powerfully and successfully supported.
