They climbed aboard real fire engines, discovered all sorts of fascinating firefighter secrets, and giggled their way through trying the hose pipe and whizzing down the fireman's pole. A whole lot of fun filled the day for our children— what a brilliant way to learn and explore.

• Sunday 15 March 2026 HWA Blog - 13.3.26 I honestly do not know where this week has gone. I have spent three days of it at Disneyland Paris with a fantastic group of Year 8 students. What an experience it was. The students were absolutely amazing and a true credit to Hollinwood and to their families. They enjoyed every single minute, and it was a joy to watch them make memories that will last a lifetime.
