"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Holmbush Primary. The facilities are great, especially the library and outside classroom. However, we've struggled with communication from the school at times, and our child's progress hasn't always been clear. That being said, there are some fantastic teachers and support staff who really care about the children. We just hope to see some improvements in the future.

The values of the school, such as ambition and excellence, really resonate with me as a parent. We feel so lucky to be part of the Holmbush community!

"Holmbush helped our child thrive"

We have two children who passed through Holmbush Primary and both of them had a fantastic experience. The school's emphasis on inclusion and support really helped our son, who has SEND needs. The staff are passionate and dedicated, and the facilities are excellent. We're so grateful for the care and education our children received at Holmbush.
