About Great Hollands Primary School

Great Hollands Primary School in Bracknell Forest is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school currently has 278 pupils against a capacity of 432, meaning it is running well below its maximum intake. That said, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 70 total applications for 44 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.59, and made 42 offers to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 34.1%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment serving a relatively disadvantaged community. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Richard Ferris.
