iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Holbrook Primary School. Welcome to our school website which I hope will give you a glimpse of life at Holbrook! I am immensely proud to be the headteacher here at Holbrook Primary School. Holbrook is a school full of love and care, where every single adult strives for the best for our Holbrook pupils.
We are a strong community and have grown even stronger over recent years. We have around 225 pupils here at Holbrook organised into 8 classes. We have a strong, committed and experienced team of teachers and Learning Support Assistants who all work tirelessly with the aim that every learner is inspired, nurtured and challenged to reach their full potential.
We have a strong governing body who support and challenge us, maintaining the strategic direction of the school. We have been very fortunate to have a new 6-classroom building developed recently and our learning environments make our school a very special place to be.
Choosing your child's Primary School is one of the biggest decisions we make as parents and one that needs to be carefully considered. As such, we would warmly welcome you to Holbrook Primary School where you can have a tour of the school on a 'normal' school day and meet with myself or our Deputy Headteacher to discuss your child and ask any questions you may have.
