Hollyfield is a beautiful school with a thriving sixth form, in the Surbiton area of Outer London. Excellent transport links enable our staff and young people to take full advantage of the wealth of opportunities that London provides. We are an ambitious school that puts student achievement and wellbeing at its heart.

Hollyfield is part of the Every Child, Every Day Multi Academy Trust and we have strong relationships with our Trust partners. In April 2020 we were judged by Ofsted to be ‘good’: ‘School leaders are keen to ensure all pupils achieve their best. Pupils respond well to leaders’ high expectations. There is a distinct sense of community in the school. Pupils grow in confidence and learn to work together well as a result.’

The trust provides excellent subject-level support, CPD and Leadership CPD through several programmes externally and within the Trust.

We would encourage early applications as we reserve the right to appoint before the closing date, should a suitable candidate be found.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview. If you do not hear back from us within a week of the application closing date, please assume you have not been shortlisted this time.

 The Governing and Trust Bodies are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and expect all staff to share this commitment. We fully recognise our responsibilities for safeguarding and child protection. Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of satisfactory pre-employment checks, including an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check, overseas criminal record checks where relevant, online checks and receipt of satisfactory references. It is an offence to apply to work with children if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. The schools within the Trust are committed to all aspects of personal development, are inclusive and seek to ensure every student achieves to the best of their ability.
