Everyone at Fairholme belongs to one of four Houses – Black, Cameron, Powell and Stephens. While each staff member at Fairholme is a caregiver, the Holme Group Teacher plays a unique role by leading a small group from one of the Houses and meeting with students in their Holme Group daily. During this time, they worship together, celebrate, enjoy activities and support one another.

In this latest At Holme Podcast, we hear from Fairholme's Head of Faith and Wellbeing, Cath Butler, about the school's Holme Group structure, results from research into wellbeing at Fairholme and practical examples and ideas as to what is needed to support our students.
