At Holme Grange we are driven by a passion to give every child the tools they need to live a happy and fulfilled life both in and out of the classroom. Our mission is to inspire achievement beyond the bounds of expectation where everyone can succeed. Here children can challenge themselves, develop skills for life and grasp every opportunity. Our academic standards are high but so is the desire to see students discover their own strengths and make the most of their natural abilities.

Word From The Head

I hope from reading our website, you get an idea about what is unique about our School and what it means to be part of such an amazing community. There can be no substitute for a visit, and I invite you to come and see for yourself what it means to live the Holme Grange Way!

We are a school where every child is valued as an individual, where strengths are celebrated and used to support growth of academic, social and emotional development in equal measure. Our youngest children are encouraged to enjoy their childhood and not rush to enter the adult world, yet from an early age, they demonstrate a maturity beyond their years, a compassion for others and a kindness which extends throughout their time with us and beyond.

We are aspirational for our young people and innovative in how we maximise their potential. We aim to inspire achievement beyond expectation within an environment where every child can succeed.

We have a diverse range of students in the school and our goal is for each one to feel valued, believe in themselves, like and respect themselves and others and leave us as confident individuals who will make a positive contribution to society. We ‘go the extra mile’ and our pupils do too.

In the words of our Y11 student, Head of School 2021 – “we are much more than an educational establishment – we are a farm, we are a laboratory filled with budding scientists, we are the next generation of Michelin star chefs, the Steve Jobs, Shakespeares, Monet, Flemings just waiting to get out there and find their place in the world… Others thrive but at Holme Grange we soar”.

We take the time to know our pupils and take pride in the fact that visitors to our school comment that we are ‘a school with a soul’. Our values, policies and aims are more than words on a piece of paper – they are lived every day in the lives of all who attend.
We look forward to welcoming your child and you, to the Holme Grange Community.

Mrs Claire Robinson
Headteacher

    School Reviews

    ISI Report, January 2015


    The quality of the pupils' achievements is excellent.  

    Mr Jelley, Deputy Head


    Learning happens best when we're trying something new and sometimes learning happens best out of failure. Students need to feel comfortable to allow themselves to make mistakes.

    The Holme Grange school bus is a most excellent service with friendly and efficient drivers. It has made a big difference to us busy parents and seems very cost effective.

    We joined in Year 7 and love the school. My son said after his first month his only problem was fitting in all the cool things to do.  

    Parent


    We found everybody really helpful and willing to go the extra mile – but that is just part of the ethos of the school.

    We have been so pleased with the school, staff and facilities.
