On behalf of the children, staff and governors I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Holbrook Primary School. Thank you for taking the time to find out more about us and I do hope that the website will give you an insight into the school, its values, ethos and expectations.
Our values of Co-operation, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Tolerance underpin our work and contribute strongly to positive attitudes to learning.
Our wonderful facilities include a well-resourced library, lovely conservation area, extensive playgrounds and fields, a thinking garden and up-to-date IT facilities including iPads all of which contribute to memorable learning experiences. If you would like the opportunity to experience the school first-hand then please contact us to arrange a visit.
I look forward to welcoming you into our school. Year 5 & 6 spent a busy afternoon swimming at The Pavillions, competing against other schools in the swimming gala... @SouthwaterJA_PE win a rain drenched year 3&4 Quadkids District Sports at The Bridge with @PrimaryHolbrook in second and @heron_way third - results here: @LeechpoolSchool @ArunsideP @ShelleyPrimary
