Hollygirt School is an independent school near the centre of Nottingham, England for girls and boys aged 3 to 18.
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. As a charity the school's accounts can be inspected on the charity commission website under the name ' The Rhonda Jessop education charity'. Accounts show that the school ran at a loss from August 2014 to June 2017
Hollygirt consists of a Nursery, a Junior School and a Senior School. A Sixth Form will open in September 2023.[3]
