Holly Lodge High School College of Science
If you are looking to join a friendly and supportive group of people committed to the success of the youngsters they work with, then this is the school for you!
Holly Lodge is a successful school in a challenging area. We are based on a generous and attractive site. Accommodation and facilities include a purpose built library, well equipped laboratories and workshops and extensive up to date Information Technology resources.
We pride ourselves on our well-established and successful system of open collaborative leadership and management, with a firm emphasis on teamwork and self-evaluation. All teaching and support staff are involved in thorough, detailed planning and communication is highly effective.
New staff are supported through an induction programme and then further developed through a wealth of opportunities in school; a Teaching and Learning Forum for staff keeps teaching and learning and staff development and training at the forefront of everything we do – we see ourselves as a strong learning organisation.
The future for Holly Lodge is both challenging and exciting. We are in the first phase of Sandwell’s "Building Schools for the Future" programme with a ‘new’ school on the re-named Smethwick Learning Campus due to be opened in 2010.
Visitors and prospective candidates for posts are always welcome to the school where they will receive a warm welcome from staff and pupils alike.
