From the Holbrook Primary School
Thank you for visiting our brand-new school website, which just launched in September 2019! Even though I have only been the headmaster at Holbrook Primary School since January 2019, I am really happy to lead this school and Holbrook already holds a very special place in my heart. At Holbrook, there are 8 classes with a total enrollment of just under 250 students. Some of these subjects are taught to single year groups, while others to mixed year groups. We have a strong, committed and experienced team of teachers and Learning Support Assistants who all work tirelessly with the aim that every learner here is inspired, nurtured and challenged to reach their full potential. One of the most important decisions we make as parents is selecting your child's primary school, which requires careful consideration. As such, we would warmly welcome you to Holbrook Primary School where you can have a tour of the school on a 'normal' school day and meet with myself or our Deputy Headteacher to discuss your child and ask any questions you may have. Call the school office at 01225 753708 to set up an appointment if you would like to visit Holbrook to determine if it is the best school for your kid.
