We use several key tools around school and in the classroom to help teach and develop core values and skills, along a pupil's Learning Journey at Holcombe Brook. 'Learning Waymarks' shown here are specific items from these tools that are relevant to the content, or activity being reported. We add this information with the hope of strengthening these values and accelerating pupil development, both in the classroom and at home.

As part of their work in English lessons on ‘The Tin Forest’ by Helen Ward, Taj Mahal had to imagine and create their own representations of this unique setting. The class brought their tin forests to life by using a wide range of metallic themed resources, such as tin foil, paper clips, metallic paints, paper fasteners and old screws / nails. The children have loved exploring this book so far and are really proud of the work they’ve produced!
