Extra-Curricular

At Holmwood House, we believe that pupils thrive in an environment full of opportunities that allows them to explore and discover talents and interests.

As well as offering before and after-school care for our youngest pupils, we work closely with external coaches to offer Ballet, Musical Theatre, Tennis and Squash on the school site (or at Lexden Racket and Fitness Club).

As children grow and progress through the school, the school grows with them. The days become progressively longer and allow us to provide a rich curriculum outside of the classroom as well as in it. Through our holistic approach to education, Holmwood House pupils leave the school as well-rounded individuals, ready for their next stage in life.
