Mr Oliver Hamshar
Deputy Head Teacher
Mr Hamshar joined HVS from Salesian School in Chertsey, where he was previously an Assistant Headteacher for 5 years. He led on the Digital Strategy of the school, as well as key areas including Attendance & Punctuality, Assessment and Reporting, IT systems and Behaviour and Atandards.
Mr Hamshar is responsible for the quality of the education at HVS and will oversee the intent, implementation and impact of all areas of the curriculum, as well as leading on attainment and progress. As the school’s lead for Pupil Premium Strategy, he will also work closely with our Head of Personalisation to ensure all students are able to make exceptional progress.
Mr Hamshar obtained his BA in Media and Film, before deciding to move into Education when he obtained his PGCE in Computing from the University of Southampton. Mr Hamshar is very keen on ‘all things’ technical and digital, from Computer Programming to Graphic Design. He believes strong literacy and numeracy skills give students the ability to develop better procedural and declarative knowledge in other subjects that will better prepare them for tomorrow’s world.
