Our Vision

‘Small but Mighty; Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow’

At Holbeton Primary School we are dedicated to providing a curriculum that enables all children to thrive and succeed. Our passionate teachers are committed to fostering a love of learning, ensuring every child is engaged, inspired and challenged. We believe in the power of outdoor learning and our unique locality offers a wealth of enrichment, exploration and ‘hands on’ learning. Relationships are at the heart of our school and our children feel valued and understood. We develop academic and personal growth, nurturing our children from tiny acorns to mighty oaks.

Our Aims

We aim for all children at Holbeton School to be:

• Successful learners who achieve high personal standards and make progress through developing their skills, knowledge and personal qualities - Curriculum
• Confident individuals who have high self-esteem, foster good relationships, respect others and care for their community - Culture
• Responsible citizens who show values of responsibility, respect, co-operation and understanding about their contribution to society - Community

Our School Values

At Holbeton Primary School, our values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our learning, guide our behaviour, and inspire us to be the best version of ourselves. These values – Guidance, Resilience, Opportunity, Wonder, Togetherness, and Health – spell out the word GROWTH, a powerful reminder of the journey every child takes during their time with us.

Much like a tiny acorn with the potential to grow into a mighty oak, we believe every child holds incredible promise. With the right support, encouragement, and environment, they can flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally.
