📚 Holcombe Grammar School

Holcombe Grammar School is a grammar school with academy status in Chatham, Kent, England. They are part of Thinking Schools Academy Trust. Holcombe is a selective school. From the 2017–18 academic year, the school planned to become co-educational and remain selective in the lower school. This was blocked – and later approved – by the Department for Education with co-educational admission desired for the 2018/19 school year. In September 2026, they will become mixed alongside Fort Pitt and Chatham Grammar, joining Rainham Mark as mixed grammar schools. The school has changed name in their advanced plans of becoming co-educational and plans to change all references from "Chatham Grammar School for Boys" to "Holcombe Grammar School" over academic year 2016/17.
