About Holt Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Holt Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 40 applications for 25 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 6. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who live close enough, securing a spot is realistic. The school is a Church of England/United Reformed Church primary, though the data doesn't indicate whether this affiliation influences admissions criteria. With 148 pupils on a capacity of 203, the school is not yet full, which may offer some flexibility for families moving into the area mid-year. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated the school Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, matching its previous Good rating from 2012.
