The Holt School

The Holt School is a girls' secondary school in Wokingham housed in a Grade II listed building that serves approximately 1,200 students aged 11 to 18. The campus contains multiple teaching rooms, specialist facilities, and shared spaces distributed across the school site at Holt Lane.

The school was established in 1931 and began operations under the first headmistress G. M. Brown at Tudor House. Over the decades, the institution expanded and developed into an established educational community in Wokingham.

The school organizes students into eight houses named after traditional trades: Broderers, Clothworkers, Goldsmiths, Haberdashers, Lacemakers, Spinners, Tanners, and Weavers. These names reflect the craft heritage of the region and create a sense of community and identity within each house group.

The school is located at Holt Lane in Wokingham and is accessible by public transport or car. Visitors can contact the school directly for information about visiting arrangements, tours, and other practical matters.

Bonita Norris, a notable alumna, holds the record as the youngest British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. This achievement is often overlooked but serves as inspiration for current students to pursue ambitious goals.
