Holt House Infant School is a welcoming and inclusive institution that provides a good quality of education, while excelling in personal development. The school encourages participation in a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports and arts, which are accessible to all students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Positive relationships and high expectations for behaviour contribute to a harmonious school environment. However, it is noted that leaders are still in the process of refining the curriculum and assessing its impact on student outcomes, particularly after the adjustments made since September 2022. This was the school's first inspection since the COVID-19 pandemic and marked the first routine inspection since it became part of the new regulatory framework.
