What the school offers its staff
If appointed you can expect full-support and continuing professional development, as we promote a model of leadership at all levels and a bespoke and tailored CPD programme. We offer a professionally stimulating working environment where teachers have the opportunity to progress and most critically to positively impact on the lives of our students.
The five key skills and values that we promote through LORIC are those that employers’ colleges and universities consider to be most desirable:
- Leadership
- Organisation
- Resilience
- Initiative
- Communication
Students develop their LORIC skills through our ‘Character and Culture and Personal Development’ programme. This begins in Y7 and continues through to Y11, with students participating in a range of activities and experiences. These activities are promoted and undertaken in personal development time, curriculum lessons, character and culture days and enrichment opportunities. We believe that the programme enhances the development of the whole child, preparing them for life beyond Up Holland High School. Our drive to offer a holistic educational experience is at the core of the school’s philosophy, recognising the importance of both academic rigour and challenge, alongside opportunities for personal development and cultural capital.

Up Holland High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undertake a DBS enhanced clearance, including checks with past employers.
