About The Holt School
The Holt is an “Outstanding” (OFSTED March 2023) girls’ comprehensive school with an eight form entry in the main school and a co-educational sixth form making a total roll of 1422.
The school, situated on the western side of the town, was founded in 1931 and whilst we are proud to uphold those traditional values by maintaining high standards of behaviour and expectations we have a modern outlook, we are ambitious and excited to embrace change.
As well as the broad and balanced curriculum, students at The Holt enjoy a rich and varied extra-curricular programme. We are very fortunate to have an extremely talented and hardworking staff all of whom are committed to providing the best possible education both in and outside of the classroom. Teaching and support staff give generously of their time to provide a wide range of enrichment activities. As a school with a global outlook, we actively encourage all our students to experience other cultures through exchanges, trips and expeditions. Relationships between staff and students are excellent and across the whole school community there is an atmosphere of mutual respect.
The school’s success is a reflection of the dedication of our staff as well as the hard work from our students. The examination results at GCSE and ‘A’ level are amongst the best in the county. Most students go on to take 10 GCSEs and 90% of students achieve 5 or more standard passes including English and Maths at grade 4. ‘A’ level results are excellent with 61% of entries achieving A*AB and 30% A*A.
The school operates a 50 period fortnight which enables us to provide a balanced curriculum in Key Stage 3 and to increase option choices in Key Stage 4.
We have 88 teachers (some part-time) and 50 support staff (administrators, technical support, technicians, cover supervisors, learning support assistants, site team and lunchtime supervisors).
There is an excellent programme of training and professional development in which all staff are encouraged to participate. There are also personalised CPD pathways including coaching and leadership training and pathways for middle and senior leaders.
Please contact us if you have any questions or to arrange a visit.
We look forward to hearing from you and to receiving your application.
