School Governors Information

 

Message from The Chair of Governors

When I was at school (many more years ago than I would like to admit!),  I had a teacher called Mr Hodges.  His subject was RE but he taught me much more than that.  From him I learned things like how to pursue the things that interested me, how to get on with people, how to learn things I didn't find easy.  He went above and beyond to help me, and many others,  learn some skills for life.....skills I still use every day.  
 
Here at Holly House our team are all a bit like Mr Hodges, committed to helping our pupils develop the knowledge and life skills they need to make the most of their potential as they grow into adulthood.  We do that by delivering high quality teaching, supportive relationships and a safe, positive environment so that pupils feel safe and secure and able to access all the resources and opportunities that Holly House School offers.
 
If you would like to get in touch then please use the school contact detailson the website.
