About the employer

Hello, my name is Emma McGuigan and I am proud to be the headteacher of Holtsmere End Junior School. I hope you enjoy looking around our website and finding out a little more about the school and what we do. We are a hard working, small school with a skilled and committed staff who go the extra mile to support the children in their care. Over the last two years the school has been on an amazing journey of improvement, culminating with its good OFSTED report in December 2017, and now we are on the next step of our journey, as we push to become outstanding. As a school we focus on the child, treating them as individuals and offering them learning experiences which are memorable and allow them to develop skills to cope with the ever changing world around them. We look to develop the whole child and pride ourselves on the fact that we see each child as unique, with their own strengths and personality. Our school is a warm and welcoming place, where children feel comfortable enough to take risks with their learning and push themselves. We are committed to creating safe, stimulating and exciting learning environments where children can feel inspired and confident that their ideas and opinions will be valued. We enjoy involving parents and the wider community in the life of the school, ensuring the links between school and home are strong and support our pupils learning. We value the opinions of all members of our learning community and we use feedback to help us improve the provision we provide for the children in our care. We are proud of our school and what we achieve everyday. I hope this website gives you a little taste of who we are. If you would like to come into school and have a look for yourself please just get in contact and make an appointment, we would love to see you. Enjoy looking at all of the fantastic things we do. Emma McGuigan It’s our ambition to provide a lively, creative curriculum to challenge and motivate our pupils and enable them to participate in a range of high quality learning opportunities. Music, sport, and learning outside the classroom are particular strengths of our school, and we are just at the beginning of an exciting ten year period of development leading up to our bicentenary in 2033. We have a range of facilities, which include a field, ponds, and a woodland area which allow us to provide fantastic outdoor learning opportunities for our children, enhancing the engaging curricular and extra-curricular activities that we provide. Our greatest resource, however, is our group of skilled and dedicated adults who work tirelessly to provide the best teaching and learning experiences for all the children. We recognise that education is a partnership between parents, children and school and we are committed to working with families to provide the very best care, nurture, and learning experience for our children. We encourage an open door policy, allowing parents and staff to meet whenever a need arises. We place a high value on establishing close links between home and the school so that we can effectively work together to achieve the best for each child. If you are beginning to think about which school will be best for your child, you can find out almost everything about our school in these pages; but do get in touch and arrange to meet us in school: in the end it’s the quality of relationships that matter most.
