What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils thrive at this friendly and welcoming school. They are happy to be part of such a warm and caring community. Older pupils enjoy helping children in early years to settle in quickly and make new friends. The school encourages pupils to have the highest of aspirations for their achievement. Pupils strive to meet these expectations. They work hard and achieve well in most subjects. Pupils follow the school rules and behave well. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), appreciate the exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular activities and events that the school provides. Pupils spoke with immense pride about representing the school in an impressive array of sporting events. These events include cross-country running and pickleball competitions, as well as rugby and table-tennis tournaments. Pupils learn about fundamental British values, such as democracy and tolerance, in a variety of ways. For example, they vote for their classmates to become school councillors and digital leaders. Pupils also take part in events and activities to celebrate people from different cultures and communities. Parents and carers who shared their views with inspectors spoke overwhelmingly positively about the school. They feel proud to be part of the 'Hollin Family'.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge that pupils should learn. On occasion, pupils' learning in these subjects is less secure. The school should make sure that these subjects are further developed so that pupils can make deeper connections with earlier learning and remember more in the longer term.
