The Malsis School, based at Malsis Hall, Glubsurn near Crosshills was an independent preparatory school.

It closed its doors for the final time at the end of 2014, after the failure of a proposed merger with Giggleswick School.

Holmes, now of King Street, Bristol, will appear at Bristol Crown Court on Friday.
