Welcome to Holly Lodge High School College of Science
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Holly Lodge High School College of Science.It is an enormous privilege to have the opportunity of being Headteacher here; as a lifelong Sandwell resident, being part of the team at Holly Lodge feels like a homecoming and a chance to really contribute to the local community that I value so deeply.As the first person in my family history to go to university, education literally transformed my life. As I have gone through my educational and subsequent professional career, there are some values that I hold dear, and these are ones I believe align with those of the Holly Lodge students, staff, parents and community. Firstly, I believe in ambition in every aspect of our work: we teach the best that has been thought and said to our students and we place no limitations on what we expect from our students or what they can achieve. Secondly, I believe in opportunity: I want to work with the staff at Holly Lodge to ensure that our students have a wealth of opportunities enabling them to be well rounded citizens that can take their ‘seat at the table’ in any forum of their choosing. Finally, I believe in community: Holly Lodge is and should be a school at the heart of its community, serving local families and working in partnership with them in everything we do. This is the start of a new era for Holly Lodge; it is the beginning of the next chapter of the school’s journey. I am determined that there will be no limits on the possibilities for everyone associated with the school.Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and I look forward to meeting you in person should the opportunity arise.Imran IqbalHeadteacher
