Welcome to Holland Junior School

At Holland Junior School we are a happy, friendly and caring school at the heart of our community. Hand in hand with our families, we have high expectations which nurture the successes, growth and happiness of every child. Children will leave our school with lasting memories and the skills to blossom in their future.

Our caring ethos allows us to see every child in our learning community as a unique individual. We believe in making a difference for every child and that all children have unique talents and abilities to offer the world. It is our job to nurture these and support the development of each child’s potential to enable them to take up their rightful place in their community. We pride ourselves in preparing our pupils not just for tests but for the tests of life.

We demonstrate our commitment to our learning community through our school values of kindness, respect, responsibility, honesty, perseverance and positivity. We believe that nurturing and promoting these values in our school community leads to greater resilience and improved mental and emotional wellbeing in our pupils. Our school is a happy, friendly, caring and safe environment where each and every child is valued for the contribution they make.

Educational Principles

The following principles, laid out by The Pioneer Academy are tried and tested in all of its schools and have been recognised as being highly successful by Ofsted.  These principles underpin The Pioneer Trust Mantra which promotes success for children and guarantees improved outcomes.

·         Promoting and achieving excellence - to inspire children and adults to achieve the extraordinary in dynamic learning environments that foster the development of independent learning.  Working in partnership across The Pioneer Academy to provide innovative opportunities for staff and children to raise aspirations

·         Recognising the importance of outstanding teaching and learning - to develop leaders of learning, create the reality and sustain high quality educational experiences and raise the self- esteem of all children enabling them to contribute positively to society

·         Actively encouraging creativity and innovation - giving opportunities for risk taking and the exploration of new knowledge and concepts to grow a ‘can do’ and ‘no excuses’ learning culture

This will be achieved by:
