Holte School is located in Lozells, west Birmingham, one of the most deprived electoral constituencies in the country.
We are a mixed secondary school catering for students aged 11 to 18. The school has 1,160 students on the roll, of which 24 per cent have SEND, 87 per cent have English as an additional language and 62 per cent are entitled to Pupil Premium funding.
Additionally, 167 students are classed as “vulnerable” – this is significantly above the national average. Holte was graded outstanding by Ofsted in 2012.
A restorative approach to behaviour management, including peer mediation and reflective conversations, has led to significant improvements in attendance and behaviour and reductions in disruptions and exclusions. The school has become the first in the UK to receive a Mentally Healthy School Award from the Centre for Child Mental Health and Trauma Informed Schools UK.
