What This School Does Well
The school has strong leadership that has turned things around and created a positive, safe learning environment where pupils behave well and are eager to learn. Children in the Early Years get a good start, and older pupils in Key Stage 2 are making improved progress. The school offers a wide range of enriching activities including sports, creative subjects and visits that help pupils develop well-rounded skills.
Key Strengths
- Early Years provision is good with all learners making strong progress
- Progress has improved in Key Stage 2 reading and mathematics
- Pupils behave well, feel safe and engage enthusiastically in learning
- Leadership has halted the school's decline and secured key improvements
- Pupils enjoy a wide range of sports, clubs and creative activities
Areas for Improvement
- Too many pupils not reaching their potential in writing across the school
- Gaps between disadvantaged pupils and others are too wide, especially in Key Stage 1
- Teachers not challenging more-able pupils enough or adapting work to different ability levels
- Spelling, punctuation and grammar not systematically taught to younger pupils
- Leadership checks on school performance lack rigor and accountability measures
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with the school meeting all statutory requirements, maintaining an open culture where concerns are addressed, and staff trained on safeguarding duties including the Prevent duty.
Extracurricular Activities
Competitive sports, sports coaching, art, music, creative subjects, visits
Hollickwood Primary School requires improvement overall. While the school has made progress in some areas under new leadership, too many pupils are not achieving what they are capable of, particularly in writing and for disadvantaged students.
