Holiday Courses | Independent Day School | Holmwood House Based at Holmwood House School or Nursery, and fully utilising our extensive facilities and grounds, Holmwood's holiday courses provide exciting and safe activity-based childcare for all children aged 4 to 14.

Yesterday morning, pupils from Years 2–10 took part in dedicated one-to-one reflection meetings with their class teachers and tutors. These valuable sessions provided an opportunity for pupils to celebrate their achievements, reflect on challenges, and set meaningful new targets.

By discussing their learning, character development, wellbeing, and future goals, pupils were able to develop important self-reflection and metacognitive skills, supported by the guidance of their teachers to ensure continued progress and success.

The remainder of the morning was filled with inspiring careers, skills, teamwork and and an engaging art activity that encouraged creativity and problem-solving. Years 7 and 8 enjoyed sessions, including a mock trial experience, insights into data protection and GDPR, personal training and entrepreneurship, veterinary careers.

These sessions highlighted the diverse pathways available to young people and the skills needed to succeed. Meanwhile, Years 9 and 10 continued their Present and Connected programme focusing on the vital people skills that will help them thrive in future careers, the skills that technology and AI simply cannot replace.

A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers who generously gave their time to come into school and share their expertise, experiences and career journeys with our pupils. Opportunities like these provide invaluable real-world insights and help bring learning to life.

Good luck to our U11 Freestyle Relay team who have qualified for the IAPS National Swimming Finals this Saturday!

To make it even more special, they’ll be competing at an incredible venue, the iconic London Aquatics Centre! To reach this stage is a fantastic achievement in itself and the opportunity to race in such a spectacular setting will make it an unforgettable experience. Good luck everyone!
