Hollydale Primary School
About Hollydale Primary School
Parents considering Hollydale Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from the families who know it best. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 87% of the 30 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a solid vote of confidence, and it’s backed up by the detail: 90% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular in the local area. For the 2025/26 intake, Hollydale received 79 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.82. Only 20 of those applications were first preferences, and all 20 were offered places, which suggests that while demand is high, families who put it top of their list have a realistic chance. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Reema Reid.
