Values and vision
Holway Park Community Primary School describes itself as a "busy but friendly school, with lots going on”. It believes in four Ss that underpin school life, encouraging students and ensuring they are enthusiastic and engaged. "Stargaze" represents dreams, aspirations and goals; "spirit" encompasses children's attitude and motivation to be responsible pupils; "strive" means the determination to work to their full potential; and "sparkle" indicates success and the "feel-good factor".
Holway Park has a positive atmosphere and standards have increased faster than the national rate. The school focuses on providing a well-rounded education, but it offers plenty of extra-curricular activity, with drama events ranging from a Reception nativity play to Year 6 Shakespeare performances.
