Our Vision

“Inspiring young minds to unlock their potential to grow.”

At Hollywell we are here to help every child grow; grow as human beings, grow intellectually and grow in maturity and character.

As a school we acknowledge the importance of academic achievements and we want every child to achieve the very best that they are capable of. Alongside this we place importance on the development of the ‘whole child’ and we want to ensure that our children grow as individuals and value their place in our rapidly changing world.

We want each and every child to leave Hollywell with resilience, empathy, a strong sense of equality and confidence at the core of everything they do.  We want our children to experience an inspiring curriculum which will encourage them to become resilient responsible and ambitious citizens of the future. A school where every child leaves the gate with fond memories, an open-minded outlook and a sense of excitement for the road ahead, because all of us have put them at the centre of everything we do.

Our Values

Our whole school ‘GROWTH’ values are at the core of everything we do here at Hollywell.

Growing in mind, body, spirit and character

We have high expectations and have strong belief in all children achieving greatness with a desire to unlock, release and liberate potential being integral to everything we do. We will strive for excellence, remove barriers and ensure that all children receive a day rich in teaching and learning experiences. We will give pupils opportunities to be independent and collaborative, whilst also enrich their time at school to ensure their wellbeing remains a top priority. In all we do we strive to inspire our children, empower them and watch them GROW.

Resilient, confident learners willing to take risks and embrace challenge

Building resilience in our learners is crucial in allowing them to grow and learn. Risk taking is essential and we want our children to feel confident in bouncing back from mistakes and learn from them. The learning opportunities will have challenge tasks and work around growth mindset will be shared with the children. We will celebrate examples of resilient behaviour and learn about famous people who demonstrate these qualities.

Open mindedness we are respectful of others, have the confidence to express ourselves and welcome new ideas

We see the world from a variety of perspectives and viewpoints, acknowledging individuality whilst being open to new ideas and possibilities. We take responsibilities for ourselves, our choices and have the confidence to express ourselves. Opportunities are given to be brave whilst displaying empathy and recognising the need for equality.

Wonder - opportunities to be curious and independent

Through the curriculum we will inspire children. We will develop curious learners who question, reflect and challenge their own thinking. We will develop the skills required to be self-motivated, creative and logical thinkers.

Teamwork - working together to enjoy and achieve

We believe that when working in collaboration we can achieve great things. Teamwork is a crucial skill for our children to develop and teachers will foster a learning together ethos across the curriculum. Our curriculum is inspiring and creative to ensure that our children are having fun whilst learning. We strive to create memories every day.

Happy – enjoy learning and celebrate achievement

We believe that a happy, safe child is a child who will flourish. So, at Hollywell we strive to create positive memorable experiences and bring fun and enjoyment into lessons and learning throughout the school environment. We celebrate our own learning and achievement and that of others.

We use a tree to symbolise our values and vision.  ‘GROWTH’

This tree represents the growth we want to develop in every pupil and teacher

The Three R's

Ready, Respectful, Responsible

At Hollywell Primary School we are:

Ready

Respectful

Responsible

These are our learning behaviours and we use these to remind us how to behave  to ensure that we all have a calm, productive and supportive time at school. 

We believe that every child and adult should follow these learning behaviours and treat each other kindly in the way we speak, listen, play and learn.

We believe that every child and adult should do everything they can to make sure that everyone is safe in our school.
