Hollygirt School is an independent school near the centre of Nottingham, England for girls and boys aged 3 to 16.

History

Hollygirt School was founded in 1877 and moved to Elm Avenue in 1913. The name "Hollygirt" is said to have originated from its former premises at 82 Addison Street which had a holly hedge. Garfield House, the main Senior School building, was built in 1881, and used to be a convent.[1] In September 2012 the school re-admitted boys.[2] Following a consultation process with all stakeholders in January 2014, the decision was made that Hollygirt School would become fully coeducational from September 2014.

School Structure

Hollygirt consists of a Junior School and a Senior School. There is no Sixth Form; pupils often continue their studies at one of several other nearby independent schools.[3]

Houses

Pupils are placed in houses beginning in Year 1.

There are three Junior Houses:

There are four houses in the Senior School, all named after places in Nottinghamshire:
