Hollywater School Ethos

Inspire. Believe. Achieve

Hollywater School Vision Statement

Our vision is to empower children and young people with special educational needs to 
become confident, curious, and as independent as possible in their lives.
We foster a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom—into the community, 
nature, and the wider world. Through high-quality, personalised support and rich outdoor 
and sensory experiences, we help our students grow in self-belief, resilience, and skills for 
life.

We believe every individual has something special to contribute. By celebrating strengths 
and supporting challenges; we aim to enable all our pupils to lead meaningful and fulfilling 
lives.
