On behalf of myself, the pupils, the staff and governors at Holly Park, I would like to welcome you to our website - do take the time to look around. I hope that it gives you an insight and flavour into our welcoming, warm and friendly school, here in Friern Barnet. Holly Park is a happy, caring primary school where we pride ourselves on getting to know our children and families.
We work hard to achieve high standards in all areas of the curriculum and to develop children who are well-rounded individuals. We also support our pupils in developing self-esteem, confidence and curiosity as they develop into happy and successful citizens of the future and as they develop their own individual strengths and talents.

At Holly Park, we intend for our pupils to gain a broad and coherent knowledge of history. We aim to ignite childrens' curiosity of the past by allowing opportunities for them to investigate, observe and interpret historical sources (primary and secondary). Throughout their time at Holly Park, pupils will be encouraged to think critically about the history of Britain and the wider world.
To equip all pupils with the self-confidence necessary to constructively influence their own lives and to develop into caring competent adults;. To ensure that all pupils have an equal opportunity to take part in the life and work of the school;. Work to ensure all learners succeed in an environment that is welcoming, secure and stimulating.

We are a happy, ambitious and inclusive school and I am very proud to be the Head Teacher of such a richly diverse school community in which families of different languages, cultures and religions learn together in harmony.
The new approach to school improvement focuses on those aspects of the education strategy that relate most directly to school improvement.
It faces up to the key challenges faced by the education service and schools in Barnet and proposes practical measures to develop the more autonomous and self-improving schools system to which the strategy aspires, building on the principles set out in the strategy about schools being responsible for their own improvement.Every Barnet school should be part of a formal school partnership with a number of other schools.
