We have a very positive reputation within the local area and being one of the largest schools in Coventry, we are an integral part of the local community. With a growing leadership structure and a brand new vision and values for our school, we are looking forward to recruiting a PE Coach to help us grow, achieve and further transform our school.

"Since I started at Hollyfast, I was blown away by the support and positivity received by everyone in school. Everyone cares for each other and the children, and we all believe in the journey of the school! I have really developed as a teacher over the past couple of years. As part of my development, I have received regular coaching and support from leaders, both formally and informally. I love being a part of the Hollyfast team, helping to make a difference every day."
