Headteacher's Welcome  

Welcome to Hollybush Primary School, located between Bramley and Kirsktall, Leeds. At Hollybush we pride ourselves on our child-centred approach, where every child is recognised as a unique individual. We are passionate about personalising learning to ensure that each child can thrive, grow and achieve their full potential. We understand that children learn at different rates and in different ways, and our dedicated team works hard to tailor learning experiences to reflect this, creating an environment where all learners feel values, supported and inspired. 

We believe that supporting the whole child goes beyond academic achievement. Our nurturing and compassionate staff team is committed to working closely with families and young people to address the challenges of both modern life and school. By fostering strong relationships and open communication with parents and carers, we build a strong foundation of trust and mutual support. Our team's warmth, professionalism, and dedication ensure that children feel safe, confident and ready to learn each day. 

Celebrating success is at the heart of our school culture. Whether big or small, every achievement is recognised and valued, helping to build self-esteem and to motivate children to continue to strive to be the best that they can be. Alongside this, we use restorative practices to support pupils' emotional well-being, encouraging them to reflect on their actions, understand their feelings and learn positive ways to interact with others. This approach strengthens our inclusive school community and helps develop empathy, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills in all of our pupils. 

As Headteacher, I am committed to inspiring ambition in every aspect of school life. Through forward-thinking and inclusive teaching methods, we drive high standards and foster a love of learning that prepares our children for the future. At Hollybush Primary School, we are not just teaching lessons - we are shaping futures, nurturing dreams and equipping every child with the tools they need to succeed in life and with their learning. I warmly welcome you to our school community and look forward to all that we will achieve together. 

Mr T Smith
