Our School Facilities

Holywell Primary School opened in 1968 and offers excellent facilities for up to 420 children. The school is uniquely designed in a honeycomb layout, resulting in 14 interestingly shaped classrooms connected by winding corridors that create a distinctive and engaging learning environment.

We are extremely fortunate to have a wide range of high-quality facilities, including a well-equipped cookery area, an art room with a kiln, a multifunctional suite, specialist withdrawal rooms for small-group learning and wellbeing activities, and a dedicated music room. The school also benefits from two halls that can be combined to form a single large performance and assembly space, a well-resourced library, and a welcoming office and reception area.

In 2016, our purpose-built EYFS unit was opened, bringing all 60 reception pupils together in one shared space. Both classes enjoy access to their own covered outdoor classrooms, as well as a larger, secure outdoor play area to extend learning opportunities further.

The school has its own on-site kitchens, where fresh, high-quality and nutritious meals are prepared daily for our children.

Our extensive outdoor grounds include a large playing field with an all‑weather running track and three playgrounds. The Key Stage 1 playground features a climbing wall and trim trail, along with a planted area for exploration and play. The Key Stage 2 playground includes a larger trim trail, an outdoor gym and the school garden. Both main playgrounds are equipped with sun shelters and designated zones for extended play activities at lunchtime. In addition, we are proud to have our own school woodland, providing valuable opportunities for outdoor learning and exploration.
