Holt Needs a New Primary School

09/04/2026

Holt Town Council have launched a Parent Survey on School Choices. If you live in the Holt Primary School catchment area then please fill in the quick online survey.
Cllrs are keen to understand what the key considerations are for parents when deciding which Primary School to send their child to. The information gathered will be shared with Norfolk County Council and Holt Primary School.

Update regarding the School:

Early analysis of the emissions tests from North Norfolk District Council confirm that the levels of Co2 from the area outside the school are of normal levels and don't constitute a risk to the school children which is a relief, the test is to be continued for a while to get a long term snapshot at the emissions data

Despite this they're are still significant reasons to push ahead for the new school, there will be significant housing developments over the next year after adoption of the new local plan and it is only right that Norfolk County Council recommits itself to the new primary school to ensure that services meet local demand and ensure that the children of Holt have a primary school that is fit for purpose and meets educational requirements

I am continuing to work hard along with Holt Town Council fellow district Holt District Councillor Martin Batey, NNDC staff as well as our local MP Steffan Aquarone to push NCC to return to honour their original pledge for a new school that will better serve our great town 👍

Now more than ever it extremely important to make our voices heard and sign the petition for County Hall to do the right thing, to listen to what our town needs and deliver what they initially intended ✍️

I want to wish everyone in Holt a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I really hope that 2026 brings you everything that you wish for 🎄🎉🎆

As we move to 2026 I really want to ramp up with trying to deliver the brand new primary school for our town, it is more important than ever for us to build a broad coalition of voices in opposition to Norfolk County Council's rejection of our town's needs ✊

We need as many signatures as possible to put forward the strongest possible case, I would ask that if you can do one thing it's to share this post far and wide across social media, share this page across social media and let's get as many voices as possible to deliver the change we need 🏫

Change is possible when we work together 🤝
