Holcombe Grammar School

Holcombe is an ambitious and supportive grammar school where life chances are transformed through Mastery Endeavour and Thinking.
We are an inclusive learning community where everyone is made to feel valued. Whatever an individual’s background, we strive to ensure that our highly capable students are offered the best opportunities.

Holcombe is an Advanced Thinking School – In 2025, the school was re-accredited as an Advanced Thinking School by Exeter University. This is testament to the hard work of staff and students alike, and reflective of the commitment made by all parties to embrace a Thinking School culture.

Artsmark – As a Silver Artsmark school, we are proud to be on the journey to become a Gold Artsmark accredited school. Artsmark can help unlock the potential of children and young people, develop character, talent and confidence and increase their knowledge and understanding.
