School History & Details

Sir John Gresham established Gresham's Senior School in 1555 after converting Holt's Manor House into a Free Grammar School in response to Henry VIII's dissolution of the Monasteries. The School survived the Great Fire of 1708, which largely destroyed mediaeval Holt, and remained in the centre of the city for 350 years. The structure was greatly expanded and renovated in Victorian times, and it is still standing today under the name "Old School House," where their Pre-Prep School is currently housed. Gresham's Senior School was reestablished at the turn of the 20th century under the leadership of fresh and creative headmaster George Howson. Under Howson's leadership, the school relocated to its current location on the outskirts of Holt and implemented a modern curriculum that included the sciences and cultivated independent thought and creativity in its students.
