History of the School

In 1969, Bransholme High opened its doors for the first time to the children of the newly formed Bransholme estate. 

In 1988, during a reorganisation of Hull schools, it was renamed after the author Winifred Holtby and retained the name when the school moved to new premises on the same site in September 2011. 

In May 2013, the school converted to an Academy by joining The Consortium Academy Trust but retained the name Winifred Holtby.
