Holly Hall Academy

Holly Hall Academy is a mixed secondary school located in the Holly Hall area of Dudley, West Midlands, England. It is situated near the Russells Hall Estate, by the Scotts Green Close roundabout and was opened in 1968 to replace a smaller building several hundred yards along the road towards Brierley Hill. Most of that building has now been demolished.It was originally a secondary modern school until adopting comprehensive status in September 1975, three years after the entry age was increased from 11 to 12. The school reverted to being an 11-16 comprehensive in September 1990. The school had grant-maintained status in the 1990s, before receiving Mathematics and Computing College specialist status in September 2002.In December 2007, plans were unveiled by Dudley council for the school to be rebuilt and change to academy status, which would have made it the first school of its kind in the borough. The plan also included taking in some pupils from Pensnett High School, which was earmarked for closure with other pupils also transferring to The Crestwood School at Kingswinford. However, these plans were scrapped by the local council in March 2008 as the school was deemed "too successful" for academy status. However the school was converted to academy status in 2011. Holly hall academy is a very judging school and it separates the naught kids from the good kids but some of you may think that's good but it's not they put the good kids in lessons and the bad kids in isolation and we just have to read a book for near 6 hours in isolation and I would advise you not to send your child here
