Hollingwood Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

Pupils are proud to be members of this caring and supportive community. The 'Hollingwood Way' is lived out with 'clarity, consistency and kindness'. These values ensure that everyone is crystal clear about their roles and responsibilities. Pupils achieve very well from their starting points because the curriculum is well suited to their needs. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make positive behaviour choices. They demonstrate maturity and show a deep respect for other people. Pupils learn to consider the impact of their actions. They recognise how they can manage and regulate their own conduct. Pupils understand the school's systems and routines. This has helped pupils, including those with social, emotional and mental health needs, to feel safe and secure. As a result, the behaviour and conduct of all pupils is exemplary. The school strives to ensure its relationships with parents and carers are supportive and positive. They can participate in school events alongside their children. For example, 'Friday family fun' promotes physical health, and the school hosts an annual remembrance service to honour parents who are in the armed forces. As one parent typically commented: 'This school is a blessing. The children thrive every day.'
