About Hollymount School

Hollymount School in Worcester is a state primary that is genuinely popular with local families. The school has a capacity of 393 places but currently houses 399 pupils, meaning it is operating slightly above its official number. This is a school that families actively want: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 57 total applications for just 42 places, and every one of the 42 first-preference applicants was offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.36 tells you demand is healthy. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 38.1% of children eligible for free school meals — well above the national average of around 23% and a clear signal that Hollymount serves a genuinely mixed catchment. The school is non-religious and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, and it offers its own nursery provision, which can be a real help for working parents looking for continuity from the earliest years.
