From the Hollywater School
We try to offer interesting educational opportunities for everyone in a setting that is secure, cheerful, healthy, and inclusive. Everyone is recognised for their unique contribution, regardless of gender, race, ability, or age, according to a strong ethos. We welcome all of our parents and carers to join us for activities throughout the year because we recognise the value of working in cooperation with parents, other professionals, and the larger community. Hollywater sets high but reasonable standards for all students and encourages them to enjoy learning so that they can flourish, attain independence, and have the chance to realise their full potential. We recognise that the personal development of pupils spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, plays a significant part in their ability to achieve and learn and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of adult life. Every accomplishment is something we are proud of, and we love to celebrate them. Please take some time to look through the many sections of the website to see how we help our students grow and learn. Contact our school office to set up a visit if you'd like to learn more about who we are and what we do.
