Top tips for a successful training year from another superb graduate of the Advance Class of 2026, Charlotte Kellett:

‘At the start it can feel really overwhelming and really busy but it definitely gets easier as you learn to plan and to do everything more efficiently and now it’s like second nature. Definitely, ask for support from the people around you, mentors, teachers. And enjoy it. Why do anything if you don’t enjoy it?!’

On the last day of term, thanks again to all our schools, coordinators and mentors for the fantastic support you give our trainees. Great to see them all heading off to start their teaching careers with such confidence. Have a fabulous summer everyone!

Last night the tenth Tendring Youth Awards were held at the Princes Theatre and what a successful event it proved to be for Team HP!

Evie S, Yr6, was runner up in the Young Carers category and Reiva T, also Yr6, was the winner!
Both girls received this special recognition for the care and support that they give to a parent, and for their own personal growth along the way.

Our Young Tree Champions were also runners up in the Environmental Initiative category for turning their learning into lasting action by creating a wildlife garden and planting numerous trees.

Then, just as we thought the evening was drawing to an end, we were delighted to hear that Mrs Hall & her Young Tree Champions were the proud winners of the TYA Committee’s Special Recognition Award in celebration of their work towards reducing climate change, supporting sustainability, promoting well being and maintaining their Beacon Award Status! What a lovely surprise!

We are excited to be receiving a visit this Monday from Nigel Spencer, MBE, who just so happens to be His Majesty’s Deputy Lieutenant! As a former Tree Champion he has asked if he can come and see for himself the work that Mrs Hall and the children have been doing for the environment.

Congratulations to all those involved, and thank you for representing Holland Park so beautifully.

A massive thank you to everyone who walked, supported, and donated. You are all superstars! 💙
