The Holmesdale School is a coeducational high school and sixth form located in Snodland, Kent. [1]

It was founded in 1930 [2] and was at one time a foundation school administered by Kent County Council and The Malling Holmesdale Federation Trust, which also included The Malling School. [3] It was also part of the Mid Kent Learning Alliance. [4] In September 2022 The Holmesdale School converted to academy status, and is now sponsored by the Swale Academies Trust. [5]

The Holmesdale School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs. The school was previously designated as a Technology College and was renamed Holmesdale Technology College for a time. Holmesdale Technology College was renamed The Holmesdale School in April 2016, but the school continues to specialise in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). [6]

They play a number of different sports including dodgeball and Korfball [7]
