Hollyfield School is a co-educational academy school located in Surbiton, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London, England. There are approximately 1,120 students on roll, with 220 in the sixth form. School uniform is compulsory at Hollyfield for all pupils except the sixth form.
Hollyfield School was awarded specialist Technology College status in September 2003. This follows work since 1999 when the governing body and the Local Education Authority (LEA) approved a bid to the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and the school began raising the £50,000 sponsorship needed to support the bid. By July 2002 the school had raised the required £50,000 sponsorship and the bid went in during 2003. The award gave the school an additional £800,000 funding over five years.
As of 1 December 2011, the Hollyfield School has converted into an academy.
More able pupils are identified prior to entering the school and are placed in the top ability groups. These are called Fast Track groups. After pupils have been offered a place in the school the Fast Track group is selected from an ability test while the other pupils are placed in mixed ability groups known as Express. Fast Track pupils are set a demanding curriculum and their progress is monitored. Each pupil is set targets together with work to ensure that such pupils are stretched and attain their potential. It is expected that these pupils will achieve 8-12 GCSE grades A*-B.
There are 3 houses with their own colours: Eagle (Red), Falcon (Blue) & Osprey (Yellow). The three houses compete for house points throughout the year. 'House Points' are given to students for exemplary classwork, home-learning or in extra-curricular activities. At the end of the year, the houses compete during 'Sports Day', and the overall winning house is announced.
Inter-house competitions have been played which include cricket, rugby and more.
Through years 7-9, boys wear a black blazer with the Hollyfield School logo, a white shirt, black trousers and a blue, red and yellow striped tie. For girls, a black blazer with the Hollyfield School logo, a white shirt and a black skirt.
