Gresham’s HOLT, NORTH NORFOLK
ounded in 1555, Gresham’s is an authentic boarding and day school, providing a fully rounded education to boys and girls aged two to 18. Spanning a 200 acre site, the school has excellent facilities, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just four miles from the breathtaking North Norfolk coast. Gresham’s holds an ‘Excellent’ rating across all nine categories, following an Independent Schools Inspectorate visit, which is testament to the high-quality teaching and outstanding pastoral care. THE DYSON BUILDING The Dyson Building opened at Gresham’s in September 2021. Sir James Dyson, a former pupil at the school, enabled the innovative new centre for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education. Building a dedicated centre for STEAM subjects disrupts the established narrative that young people must choose between science and the arts at an early stage of their life. By teaching the subjects side by side, pupils will begin to see how the knowledge gained from one discipline can be used in a creative way in another. Creativity and original thinking have always been the cornerstones of a Gresham’s education; the Dyson Building establishes state-of-the-art facilities to see this continue into the mid-21st century. Spaces are equipped with the latest technology, with art hubs, IT points and open-stair seating areas turning the spine of the building into an area for collaborative studies. Extra-curricular activities give pupils the opportunity to tinker and discover new ways of working. At Gresham’s, pupils are building robots from Lego; using chemistry experiments to paint; designing, building and racing electric cars; and even using computing to code a character for an upcoming drama performance.
