We are incredibly excited to be able to offer the following opportunities to join us at Holyhead and Central Region Schools Trust, and are keen to recruit staff who are aligned with our mission to support social justice through exceptional schools, our values and Our Distinctive Culture. 

The context of the school community we serve is such that the majority of our students are at an educational disadvantage when they come to us, be that through below average reading ages, significantly above national average Pupil Premium rates, or having English as an additional language. When we talk about having a passion for social justice, it comes through the determination to do everything we can to improve the life chances of all of our students, regardless of their starting point.

It’s not easy, and it does require a level of emotional investment as well as the willingness to go the (somewhat cliched) ‘above and beyond’, but it is made possible by making workload reduction part of our commitment to staff, and by a genuine team ethos where we work together and treat each other like a work ‘family’.

Teaching and working in education isn’t a profession for the faint hearted, but I can honestly say that teaching at Holyhead is for the wholehearted and the kind hearted. It’s a rewarding place to work in so many ways. By all means read our Ofsted reports and look at our website, but if you think this might be the place for you then come and visit us first. We are open and honest, and we want to continually get better to do more for the young people of Handsworth. If you are that way inclined and this sounds like it might be right for you then get in touch and we hope to hear from you soon.
