On behalf of everyone at Holme Slack Community Primary School; pupils, staff, parents and governors, I would like to thank you for your interest in the school, and officially welcome you to the school’s website.

Our ethos can be summed up  in the simple statement in our belief that…

Our Children Can Achieve!

And by working in partnership, we aim high in order for all pupils to achieve their best at all times.

We aim:

• To provide a safe, caring, welcoming and stimulating environment for our children.
• To encourage children to value themselves as individuals and treat everyone with respect and consideration.
• To develop the whole child and for each child, according to their ability, to achieve the highest academic standards, whilst developing social, moral, spiritual and health awareness preparing them for life after school.
• To provide a lively, fun curriculum, which is broad, balanced and relevant.
• For parents to become partners in the education of their child and to support the work of the school.  Further to maintain and strengthen links with the local community for the benefit of all.

Your confidence in a school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. We hope to extend your knowledge, through regular contact and discussion. This will help develop a mutual understanding of, and responsibility for, the education of your child.

Parents are the key to happy and successful primary schools, and here at Holme Slack we endeavour to work together towards providing the very best we can for you and your children. Staff value the support and commitment of parents in helping us raise achievement and maintain standards.

We are a busy and friendly school, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taste of the school, as well as providing regular updated information for both parents and pupils. If you would like to visit us and see Holme Slack at work, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be delighted to show you round, as this is the only true way to see how successful we are!
