Accessibility arrangements at Holly Meadows updated 2022 (currently under review) Our building was constructed around 1970 and it is a compact, well-lit and well-organised school. It has wide corridors and doorways that make access easy for those with physical access needs and those who may need to use a wheelchair.
Ramps enable entry and exit to the school on all four sides of the building. We have an accessible toilet in the main building along the central corridor that has plenty of room to manoeuvre. There are two halls, one used mainly for Collective Worship, PE and dining; the second, front hall is also used for dining and group work.
Our modular classroom to the rear of the school can be accessed via a wide flat path. There is an accessible toilet facility within the modular. The school is sited on a 6-acre field with hard playground available on which the children can play at break times and to do outdoor learning whenever it is appropriate.
It is secured by fencing so that access to the road is preventable during school hours.
