Background:

Holly Lodge was opened formally in September 1971 and a year later became a middle school. In September 1993, it became a primary school admitting children from four to 11 years. The School is situated in Stratford Road and is conveniently sited for children from the villages of Ash Vale and Mytchett. The extensive school grounds provide an attractive rural setting and offer excellent facilities for outdoor activities. The buildings are modern, spacious and well-equipped. There are 12 classrooms, an assembly hall and a library in the main building, with three separate mobile classrooms. There is also a unit containing three classrooms with cloakroom facilities for boys and girls. French is taught in the upper school. There is a strong tradition of music at the school. Children have the opportunity to learn to play string, woodwind, brass or percussion instruments. The school offers various extra-curricular activities and clubs, which include football, netball, gymnastics, running club, computer club, knitting, choir, orchestra and drama. Visits to local theatres are also organised whenever possible. The school aims to provide a safe and secure environment where everyone feels valued and respected and where children can develop as confident and mature members of the community.
