ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Holmleigh Park is an ambitious academy located in Tuffley, Gloucester. We believe that all children have
limitless potential, and are proud to offer a comprehensive education to all students in our local
community. We expect all staff, students and parents to embrace our three principles - Work Hard, Be
Kind, Take Responsibility - so that our students leave school as ambitious, confident and successful
young adults with the highest standards of integrity.

Everything we do is underpinned by three key drivers:

● Outcomes – Our core purpose is ensuring students leave with the best possible exam results, so
they can access the most ambitious and aspirational destinations and step into adulthood with
choice. We teach in an evidence-informed style implementing the science of learning principles.
At HP, teachers are the experts in the room. Our lessons utilise an I, We, You structure and there
are visualisers in every classroom to build all students to effective independent application and
practice. All of our staff take part in both Faculty and Whole School CPD.
● Opportunities – We want every student to take part in enriching experiences that build
confidence, create lasting memories and allow them to represent the school with pride. Every
student at HP takes part in extracurricular activities during the normal school day through our
Wednesday Enrichment program. We believe in students leaving a legacy and shaping the
culture of the school for those who follow.
● Disruption-Free Learning – We set the highest expectations for student conduct. Every student is
expected to show the very best version of themselves so that every lesson is calm, focused and
allows all learners to thrive. Every classroom is consistent and we work together as a whole staff
team to implement the same routines and expectations every lesson, every day.
