We are looking to appoint SEND Teachers to join Holme Court Andover in September 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for experienced teachers or teachers early in their career to make a real difference working with individuals and small groups of pupils who have additional needs.

We recognise that every pupil has a unique profile of strengths, interests, and support needs, which is why our provision is tailored to each child’s individual developmental journey rather than a diagnosis alone.

Located in the heart of Andover, our warm and inclusive school community provides a safe, supportive, and aspirational environment where every pupil is celebrated for who they are.
