Holly Grove Primary is a warm and friendly place to learn. Pupils are happy and look out for each other. The school organises them into family groups and this has helped develop positive relationships across year groups. This has also ensured that the school has a family atmosphere. Everyone gets along with each other very well. Pupils’ attendance has improved since the last inspection. Leaders have put in place rewards and celebrations to encourage children to come to school daily. Pupils behave well. Pupils told inspectors that, although rare, bullying sometimes happens. However, if it does happen, they trust adults to listen to them. We agree that adults are quick to sort out any issues. Pupils are proud to take on responsibilities, such as being an enrichment captain, school councillor or reading gladiator. They enjoy taking part in the wide range of extracurricular activities provided for them. These range from craft and gardening to music and cookery. On Parent View almost all parents said that they would recommend the school to others. A typical comment states: ‘Holly Grove is a joyful school with staff going above and beyond to enable children to thrive.’
