Welcome to Hollywater School
Hollywater School is an inclusive school that strives to ensure that all children feel safe when they are with us and where we encourage an environment in which they are ready to learn. Our values focus on openness, kindness, honesty, positive relationships and trust.We have a dedicated and skilled staff team, who work with the strengths of each individual child to ensure that they achieve to the best of their abilities.Our Mottos is: Inspire, Believe, AchieveInspire: Every journey a child makes begins with a spark of inspiration. For our students, this spark can come from the joy of discovery, the thrill of overcoming a challenge, or the encouragement of a trusted parent, friend or adult. At Hollywater we aim to light up the path with stories of courage and success, and show that every dream, no matter how big or small, is within reach.Believe: To develop faith in oneself is a powerful force. Encouraging each of our students to believe in their abilities, to trust in their potential, and to embrace their unique strengths. With belief, they can turn rise to many different challenges and opportunities and face each day with confidence and resilience.Achieve: Achievement is not just about reaching the finish line; it's about the growth and learning that happens along the way.At Hollywater we celebrate every milestone, no matter how minor it might seem. Achievements come in many forms—academic success, personal growth, creative expression, and beyond. We aim to recognise and honour these victories, and foster an environment where every child can flourish.Together, we believe that, as a community, “we can be the change we want to see in the world” for our students. We value the opportunity to work with our families, governors and local communities to create a world where SEND children are empowered to dream big, believe in themselves, and achieve extraordinary things!Maria -Brigid RyanHeadteacher
