About Holme Junior and Infant School

Parents considering Holme Junior and Infant School will find a small, oversubscribed primary that clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 10 applications for just 4 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. All four first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while competition exists, those who put it top of their list stand a fair chance. The school has a total capacity of 42 pupils but currently enrols just 32, so there is some headroom. ParentView data isn't available in this dataset, but the oversubscription figures alone indicate a school that local families actively seek out. With a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection in February 2024, and a previous rating of Requires Improvement in 2016, the school has clearly turned a corner under headteacher Damien Bond.
