Employed
I attended The Holgate Academy and sixth form from 2000 to 2008, and I look back on my time there with great fondness. Although I wasn’t the most academic student when I started secondary school, the dedication and care shown by many of the Holgate staff helped nurture my potential and inspire my growth – both academically and personally.

Apprenticeship
My name is Patrik Holodnak, and I attended The Holgate Academy from 2016 to 2021, followed by the sixth form from 2021 to 2023. The lessons I learned during my time at The Holgate Academy have shaped me into the person I am today. Through all the good times, laughter, and support from great staff, I was able to mould myself into a more confident version of my past self, always striving to improve in every aspect of my life.
