Winifred Holtby Academy


Winifred Holtby Academy is a coeducational secondary school located in the Bransholme area of Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The school is named after Winifred Holtby, a novelist and journalist who is best known for her novel South Riding.
Originally known as Bransholme High School, the school was later renamed Winifred Holtby School, and some time later, Winifred Holtby Technology College. In May 2013 Winifred Holtby School converted to academy status and was renamed Winifred Holtby Academy. The school was substantially rebuilt in 2011, under the Building Schools for the Future scheme, twinned with Tweendykes Special School, who now shares a smaller section of the building.
In 2019 Winifred Holtby Academy liquidised its own trust and became part of The Consortium Academy Trust.
Winifred Holtby Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.
