Mrs Shipley
Principal
On behalf of the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust I feel honoured to introduce myself as the Principal of Holyhead Primary Academy. We are a small, family orientated, one form entry primary school who cater for children aged 2-11.
Since becoming part of Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust, the progress made at Holyhead Primary Academy so far has been excellent with feedback from families and the community saying how much the school has changed for the better; from the environment, quality of teaching, the curriculum, opportunities for all, safety of the children to improved behaviour.
I am passionate about teaching and want the children in our care to leave school with a ‘whole education’, so the school curriculum not only focuses on making excellent progress academically but also promotes the development of skills to cope with a challenging and ever changing world.
The school has three core values which are very dear to us: EXCITE, EXPLORE and EXCEL. Our mission is to create a learning environment that is engaging and interesting, provide great learning experiences and teaching the children a LOVE of learning. We want our children and their families to be excited about coming to school and feel part of our family.
Mrs McMenamin
Assistant Headteacher
responsible for EYFS and SEND
Hi, I am Mrs McMenamin, I have been a team member at Holyhead Primary Academy since September 2012. I am the Assistant Head Teacher with responsibilities for EYFS and SEND. I strongly believe that providing children with a high-quality early years provision lays the foundations for their future education. I ensure children are excited about their learning, which enables them to excel and make progress. I provide staff with skills and resources to ensure all children can access the curriculum. It is highly rewarding when I see children being engaged in high-quality lessons and activities.

Mrs Smith
Business Manager
I am Mrs Smith and I have been the Business Manager at Holyhead since September 2011. I ensure that the administration at Holyhead is efficient and organised. Managing the Academy budget to ensure best practice is always at the forefront of everything we do. I strategically plan school developments which enables engaging learning spaces to be created for the children, making sure I include the children in the planning of new developments e.g. the design of our Trim Trail. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the Holyhead Academy improve with the support of the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust and seeing the children and families benefit from the changes.
