I'm aspiring to be, the best version of me

Sowing seeds of learning today

Mistakes will help me to achieve

And in me, Hollybank will ALWAYS believe.

 

We aim to:

  • value each member of our school family
  • promote a love of learning across the curriculum
  • engage and include all learners through a variety of teaching strategies
  • empower our pupils for a future of success
  • develop effective partnerships with families and the local community

Our Ethos is based on 3 principles:

READY, RESPECTFUL, SAFE

Our pupils show these three values daily in all year groups, amazing the adults every day.  We celebrate their maturity, kindness and empathy regularly, and always appreciate the wonderful little human beings we nurture and have the privilege to teach every day.
