The Year 5 children have been creating studies from the Tove Jansson’s illustrations for ‘The Hobbit’. First, they lightly sketched out the outlines using a 2H pencil then used fineliners and brush pens to create the textures and tones in the style of the artist. Tom Johnson / Keith Siddle
Year 5 had a fantastic day out at Ashburnham Place, enjoying a range of outdoor activities and learning experiences in a beautiful natural setting.
The day began with apple juice pressing, where pupils collected apples and used a traditional press to make their own delicious juice. They also took part in a fun woodland cooking session, making flatbreads and beetroot hummus – with many surprised at how tasty it was!
Another highlight was exploring woodland ecology, where children learned about the importance of biodiversity through looking at how the gall wasp affects the genetic makeup of an acorn. The session helped them understand how everything in nature is connected.
Throughout the trip, Year 5 showed great enthusiasm, teamwork, and curiosity. They represented the school brilliantly and came away with new skills and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Danny Parker
Our Nursery is now open 46 weeks a year!
Yesterday, the children kicked off the week by celebrating the festival of Diwali. They crafted their own paper plate diya lamps, explored a colourful splash sensory tray, and created dazzling fork-splatter fireworks.

On the 27th of September we had the pleasure of welcoming back Old Holmewoodians, who attended the school in the 1960s, and former staff, Sandy Helm and Barbara Simpson.
The event was organised in part by Old Holmewoodian Haydn Keenan, who is currently producing a film about Holmewood in the 1960s. The film highlights the multicultural nature of the school and the formative impact it has. Testimonials shown here reveal the same.
The evening consisted of a tour of the school and a wonderful gala dinner interspersed with speeches, singing and even a Shakespeare performance. Our Orangery and screens were filled with film footage, photographs and newspaper clippings documenting the years the alumni had spent at the school.
It was a truly wonderful evening which embodied everything that has made Holmewood so special across its 80 years – the life-long friendships, the community and the opportunities.
A huge thank you to those who attended, those who helped put on the event and a special thank you to Haydn for organising and inviting everyone - we cannot wait to watch the finished film.
