Holme Community School is an exciting place for children to learn and grow. We put happiness at the heart of our school as we know that children learn better when they are happy.
We work hard, as a community, to nurture and challenge our children so that they can develop their talents and achieve their full potential in an environment that promotes respect, integrity, care and co-operation.
We are incredibly proud of our children, they excel academically (as demonstrated in consistently high performance in statutory assessments) and beyond the classroom too. We have an excellent range of extra-curricular opportunities and our children engage in sport, music, art and drama to a very high standard.
We pride ourselves on a full range of educational visits, and have a renewed focus on children learning outside the classroom. Every day is an open day at Holme Community School, so if youd like to come and visit, get in touch and you will be made very welcome.
