As part of their Humanities curriculum, Year 7 visited the Tower of London on Friday. Pupils enjoyed two fascinating tours which focused on Elizabethan prisoners and protest movements. They were also able to view the Crown Jewels and go inside the White Tower. It was a very productive and enjoyable day. Mr Bruce Crombie
Year 7 have started their first assessment exploring the different types of weathering around the school site. They have already researched the different types of weathering and created a poster to illustrate these. They are now going to carry out an investigation to find out which sites around the school site are the most weathered. They will collect the data, analyse it and draw conclusions, before thinking about improvements they could make to their fieldwork. Katie Seecharan
We’re excited to announce our official partnership with Realms VR🎉
Join us for an exclusive Realms VR launch event at the school on Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th November, running from 10am – 8pm. Sessions are 45 Minutes long and you book it straight through the Realms VR website linked in our bio.
Realms VR is a virtual reality gaming centre based in Crowborough, offering fully immersive VR escape rooms for ages 12 and up and VR games suitable for ages 7 and up. It’s a brilliant way for children (and parents!) to experience something completely different, active, social and full of fun.
This special event will give Holmewood families a first look at what Realms VR has to offer for the future at Holmewood House 👏

World Mental Health Day
As part of World Mental Health Day, we embraced the idea of ‘Tea and Talk’. Mrs O’Sullivan hosted a tea party in her office with over 100 children coming to sip tea, eat cake and share some fine conversations. There was even an impromptu dance party! There was also other get together events before school, during break and after school to make sure everyone had that chance to chat and talk with someone they trust.

We were thrilled to welcome so many families to our recent Open Morning — especially those exploring Nursery and Pre-Prep!
We were delighted by the wonderful turnout and the excitement around our Early Years provision. With our Nursery open 46 weeks a year, Holmewood offers families greater flexibility and an extraordinary place for children to begin their learning journey.
Huge thanks to our parent volunteers and Year 8 guides for leading tours, and to Ruth O’Sullivan, Nell Bond, and Laura Readman for their inspiring talks.
Visitors also enjoyed music from our Year 3s, Choristers Choir, and talented instrumentalists.
Special mention to our Year 8 speakers, who shared how Holmewood has prepared them for their futures at Tonbridge School and Brighton College.
If you missed it, personal tours and Early Years visits are available throughout the term. Book via the link in our bio, on our website, or email admissions@holmewoodhouse.co.uk.
