Holbury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holbury is a village in Hampshire, England. It is part of the parish of Fawley. Historically a small and scarcely populated village, Holbury and the adjoining hamlet of Hardley now has a sizeable population and a considerable number of shops and businesses. This growth has been principally due to the influence of the Esso oil refinery at Fawley and the area's proximity to the city of Southampton.

It is served by a number of schools, including Manor Park First School for children aged 4 to 8, Cadland Primary School (formerly Holbury First School and Holbury Middle School) for children aged 4 to 12, and Hardley School for students aged 12 to 16. The school also has an incorporated sixth form college for students aged 16 to 18. Many pupils of Hardley School also go on to Brockenhurst College, Totton College or Southampton Technical College.
