At Holmewood, our students are given some incredible opportunities to explore, create, and develop their skills through a wide range of learning experiences ✨📚

Through these opportunities, we often discover wonderful talents within our school community — and most recently, we have all been absolutely blown away by Khalid’s amazing artistic ability 🎨👏

His drawings have shown incredible creativity, attention to detail, and dedication. It has been a joy to see his talent shine through in every piece of work he has produced 🌟

Khalid should feel incredibly proud of his achievements and the wonderful artwork he has created. We cannot wait to see where his creativity takes him next! 🎉🖌️

Well done, Khalid — keep creating and inspiring! 💙

🍽️ At the Lower Campus, students enjoyed an exciting food tasting session hosted by Ms Brito and Ms Blumenfeld.

A brilliant food tasting event with lots of interesting textures and flavour combinations that really challenged students and encouraged them to step outside their comfort zones and try something new.

Thank you to everyone involved in making it such a fun and engaging experience! ✨

Here at The Holmewood School, we love seeing the creativity our staff bring to lessons! 👏

Ms Blumenfeld set up an amazing Food Tech revision session today for our GCSE Food students. The focus was on the functional and chemical properties of ingredients in cooking — including caramelisation, gelatinisation, emulsification, aeration and more 🍳🧁

The students asked for a cooking session as some “light relief” before their final exam… this might not have been what they expected, but it’s definitely a lesson that will stick! 😄

A huge shout out to Isaac, who attended an official job interview at the London Transport Museum yesterday for a volunteering role — and was offered the position that very same evening!

This was a big step for Isaac, and he approached it with real courage and determination. It’s completely natural for him to be feeling a little anxious right now, alongside a genuine sense of excitement about what lies ahead.

At Holmewood, we love seeing our students achieve great things and opening them up to new opportunities. We are incredibly proud of Isaac and what he has accomplished.

We wish Isaac every success in his new role and look forward to supporting him on this journey. One step at a time.

This term, our whole school is focusing on developing an important executive functioning skill: working memory.

What is working memory?
Working memory is the ability to hold and use information in our minds for short periods of time. It helps students follow instructions, solve problems, stay focused, and complete tasks. For example, when a student remembers a set of instructions while carrying them out, or keeps track of steps in a maths problem, they are using their working memory.

Why are we focusing on this?
Strong working memory skills are essential for learning across all subjects. By supporting students in developing this skill, we are helping them become more independent, confident, and successful learners. Some students may find working memory more challenging, so we are using targeted strategies in school to support everyone.

How we are supporting students in school:

Breaking instructions into smaller, manageable steps
Using visual aids and reminders
Repeating and reinforcing key information
Encouraging note-taking and checklists
Giving students time to process information

How you can help at home:

Give clear, short instructions (one or two steps at a time)
Ask your child to repeat instructions back to you
Use visual reminders like lists or planners
Play memory-based games (e.g. “I went to the shop…”, card matching games)
Encourage routines to reduce the need to remember lots of new information

Working together, we can help strengthen this key skill and support our students to thrive.
