What the staff say that makes Holland special:

"At Holland, the staff and children alike are kind, caring and warm. There is a real sense of community here. As teachers at Holland Junior, we are very proud of our school - we work hard to provide a host of exciting learning opportunities, in and out of the classroom, which helps to inspire and motivate the children to reach further, aim higher and truly 'be the best we can be."

"Our school has caring adults and children who know how far a smile goes. At Holland children always try their best and thrive on challenge."

"It is a huge pleasure to work at Holland Junior School and have the opportunity to witness young people as they grow in confidence and become more independent."

"When I qualified as a teacher, I wanted to work in a school where every child was valued as an individual; allowed to contribute their ideas to their learning experience and was encouraged and supported to ‘ be the best that they could be’ : that is why I work at Holland Junior School. Yes, we care about pupil results academically but we are very keen on developing the whole child."

"I value that we are a small school, with committed members of staff all wanting to get the best out of each child. It really is like looking out for your family."

"At Holland, all the adults that work here will go out of their way to help the children. Holland, to me, is a school that really cares about every child."

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
