There are currently no pupils on roll, with the last pupil being registered at the school on Friday 27 October 2017. Between March 2017 and October 2017, only one pupil had been on roll at the school. Two other pupils had joined the school during this period but had only been on roll for less than a month each during this period. Holme Farm School received its last full standard inspection in March 2015, when its overall effectiveness was judged to be inadequate. A subsequent action plan to address the issues raised at that inspection was judged to require improvement.
