Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family will make, and at Holyhead Primary Academy, we are here to make that journey as supportive and welcoming as possible.
We are excited to welcome families seeking an excellent education for their children to book a tour and experience firsthand what sets our school apart and makes it such a special place to learn, grow and thrive.
At Holyhead, we believe that every child deserves to achieve their true potential. We are committed to providing an exceptional education that builds confidence, curiosity, and a love of lifelong learning. Every child is encouraged to achieve their very best in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment, where dedicated staff deliver high-quality teaching alongside meaningful opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.
From engaging lessons and creative workshops to exciting school trips that bring learning to life, our curriculum is designed to spark imagination, encourage exploration, and inspire children to discover their unique talents.
Our commitment to excellence was recognised by Ofsted 2022, who rated us good with outstanding features in personal development. This reflects our passion for ensuring that every child feels supported, valued, and ready for the next stage of their education.
During their visit, families will have the opportunity to explore our well-equipped classrooms, speak from our staff and pupils about life at Holyhead Primary Academy and meet our Principal.
Natalie Shipley, Principal, said: “At Holyhead, every day is a chance for discovery and growth. We are passionate about providing an amazing education for our children, where they feel inspired to learn, are proud of who they are, and are excited about their future.
“We look forward to welcoming families looking to join us in September 2026 and show them what makes our school community so special.”
Families should contact the school to book an appointment time that suits them and arrive early to allow plenty of time to look around and decide if Holyhead Primary Academy is the right school for your child.
