Head's Welcome

Welcome to Holmleigh Primary School! We are a happy, healthy, high‑achieving, inclusive, and ambitious school at the heart of our community.
In September we marked an exciting new chapter as we grew into a two‑form entry school, warmly welcoming the pupils and families of Sir Thomas Abney, and introducing 18 fantastic new members of staff to our team.
At Holmleigh, every child is valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best. We provide a caring and stimulating environment where children not only succeed academically but also grow in confidence, resilience, and character.
We are proud of our warm, friendly atmosphere, where strong partnerships with families help every child to flourish. I invite you to explore our website, visit us in person, and experience for yourself what makes Holmleigh such a special place to learn and grow.
