Everyone at Holme Grange School shares a commitment to our School, our Aim and our Beliefs. Our aim is to enable every child to thrive through experiencing an ethos of support, challenge and encouragement to succeed. We provide a stimulating learning environment with innovative teaching and an investigative approach to learning. The School's policy is to set high standards, to establish good all-round personalities and to give inspiration for each pupil's future life.

As a learning community, we strive to ensure everyone, irrespective of ability, leaves Holme Grange feeling individually fulfilled and valued as a member of society. We recognise that we can learn from our mistakes and place great emphasis on principles such as honesty and integrity, courtesy and kindness, responsibility and service. There is a positive atmosphere about the School and good manners are encouraged at all times.

Acknowledging the changing world that children grow up in, we also recognise the need for developing those skills in our children that will enable them to succeed in the 21st Century. Creativity, critical thinking, flexibility, leadership, teamwork and the ability to be self directed learners are all seen as essential but must be taught whilst also focusing on the emotional development of each individual. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, our emotional awareness and ability to handle feelings will determine success and happiness in all walks of life.

We deliver a rounded education by providing opportunities in sports, the arts, languages, technology and a wide choice of clubs and activities. Self-expression in the arts is encouraged and practical, creative and performance skills are developed in addition to leadership.

In summary at Holme Grange School, we foster self-reliance, self-discipline and self-confidence in a caring community whereby children gain interests and characteristics that give them a head start for life. We work closely with parents to ensure that all our children are given every opportunity to prosper.
