Staff wellbeing and community

At Holly Lodge, we recognize the importance of a sense of community within our teacher training community.

Coffee Afternoon: This informal setting provides an opportunity for trainees to come together, share their experiences and reflections, and in many cases build professional contacts and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Whole School CPD: Trainees at Holly Lodge are welcomed as part of the whole-staff team, and are invited to participate in whole-school CPD sessions. During these sessions, experts in their fields, conduct workshops focusing on whole-school strategies inspired by the principles of “Teach Like a Champion”.

Community events: At Holly Lodge our community engagement is one of our most treasured things. Some of our community events have included: Remembrance Day, Community Iftar, Red Nose Day, Culture Day and Wellbeing events – and Holly Lodge trainees are warmly invited to all.

Tailored support: We all need some extra support at some point in our lives, and trainees are no different! We pride ourselves on responding to the individual challenges life can throw at our trainees and putting in tailored support on an individual basis.

Community Events: Remembrance Day; Community Iftar, Red Nose Day, Vaisakhi and more!
