Welcome...
Dear Parent/Carer,
We welcome your interest in Hollymount School. The children, staff and governors share enormous pride in this school where every opportunity is offered to inspire children in their learning.
We provide a high quality education for all our pupils, enhanced by a caring and positive atmosphere in our school. We know that pupils learn more effectively if they feel valued, happy and secure. Our children are literate, numerate, have access to a broad and balanced curriculum and are able to use their ICT skills effectively. We place high expectations on our youngsters. They are responsible and independent. We give the children opportunities to reflect, and develop knowledge about themselves and their skills and abilities, through participation with others. Our children have a positive self-image and are motivated to achieve.
We also believe that parents have a very important role to play in the education of their children and we actively encourage close co-operation between home and school. We value and build on the experience and knowledge which pupils bring from their home lives, and we hope that you will share with us in making your child's time at Hollymount School enjoyable and successful.
In response to the demand for school places in Wimbledon, the school is undergoing expansion from one to two forms of entry. The future is exciting – our current high quality provision will be enhanced by significant new buildings designed to deliver 21st century learning. Updates on building progress will feature on the website. I hope you find the information on our website helpful.
It aims to give you an insight into our school community, but to experience the happy atmosphere and sense of purpose evident in our school, you are welcome to visit. We offer tours to interested parents on Friday mornings throughout the year, which you may book through the school office. We look forward to meeting you.
Philippa Jackson
