About this role
Holme Court Andover
Head of Centre
We are looking to appoint a Head of Centre at Holme Court Andover. Starting in September 2026 this is an exciting opportunity for a dedicated leader to play a vital role in and lead our newly created specialised setting. Holme Court Andover is separate to Rookwood School but is located close to and may use some facilities on site.
This is a full time role starting in September 2026. We are seeking dynamic, inspirational, and highly motivated leader to join us. You will be experienced in working with pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and associated additional needs. Experience of leadership and a full understanding of teaching in a SEND environment is essential.
At Holme Court Andover, we are committed to creating a nurturing, therapeutic learning environment where every child feels safe, understood, and valued. As an independent specialist school supporting pupils in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 with SEND Needs and associated communication, sensory, social, and emotional needs, we take a highly individualised, needs-led approach to education.
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. Through a personalised curriculum, structured and supportive routines, and a skilled multidisciplinary team, we empower pupils to develop confidence, communication skills, independence, and a lifelong love of learning while achieving meaningful progress both academically and personally.
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. We are dedicated to helping children develop the skills, resilience, and self-belief they need to thrive,
