DCSF visit

Our examination success and the excellent progress made by pupils between when they arrive at Holly Hall in Year 7 until they leave us at the end of Year 11, has again caught the eye of the DCSF.
DCSF Strategy Advisor Linton Waters came into school to talk to staff and interview parents and pupils in Year 8 and Year 10 about their experiences.
The visit focused on the reasons why Holly Hall’s pupils are so well motivated and so actively engaged in their learning. Linton was very impressed with our pupils and the open and honest way they spoke to him.
