About The Hollins
The Hollins in Accrington, Lancashire, is a co-educational secondary school for children aged 11-16. Previously the school has been a Teaching School Hub, has been the lead school in the PLSCITT, and still remains at the forefront of teacher training and collaborative practice across the local area. Our children are extraordinary and deserve to be supported by adults who believe in them, both pastorally and academically.

Values and vision
The Hollins is a fully comprehensive school and serves a differing catchment area across Accrington and the surrounding area. For this reason, we insist on the highest of expectations and standards of behaviour and academic achievement explicitly taught by adults who truly believe our pupils deserve the best that we can offer them.
Our seven core values underline everything that we do in terms of the development of our young people. We strive for consistency, predictability and reliability to ensure our school is a calm, safe and dignified environment for everyone.
Unteachable children are unemployable adults, and at The Hollins we believe our responsibility is to leave the legacy of a generation of children in Accrington who know how to be extraordinary citizens.
Location
Pupils are polite, kind and considerate. They make a positive contribution to the calm and respectful atmosphere that exists at the school. Pupils respond well to the high expectations that the school has of their conduct and achievement. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils are happy.
