About Holme Grange School
Holme Grange School is an independent school for girls and boys aged 2-16 years. Set in 21 acres of Wokingham countryside, we offer a unique educational journey in an idyllic setting; delivering a creative experience, sporting prowess and academic excellence.
Our pupils are prepared to succeed in an ever changing, competitive world. We offer challenge, we strive to inspire, develop confidence, provide opportunity and realise potential in every child. We are committed to providing the very best education. The ethos throughout the school is one of warmth and friendliness - questioning; divergent thinking and the freedom to learn from mistakes are all encouraged. Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, develop good work habits and gain a sense that learning can thrill and invigorate. Life in our school is a journey of exploration, and discovery. Academic standards are excellent. Physical health, emotional well-being, moral understanding and an appreciation of culture and the arts, science and the humanities all form part of the core curriculum. When a child leaves us, they will be well-prepared for the world – self-confident, sociable and articulate – with many special memories of their time here.
