We are delighted to announce that Francis Holland Prep has been named Winner of the Great City Prep award in the prestigious The Week Magazine’s Best of the Best Prep Awards 2026, as well as being Winner of the Best for Pastoral Care award and Runner Up for the Great Teaching and Learning award.

The judges recognised how FHP offers pupils “true city preparation”, as well as “building pupils’ cultural literacy and confidence in professional metropolitan spaces”, “giving children an outstanding programme of visiting speakers and workshops”, offering over 80 clubs, the Foresters outdoor learning programme and hands-on charitable initiatives.

The Week’s team have commented, ‘This is an immense achievement, we were inundated with submissions, so you should all be very proud’, as well as noting that no other school in living memory has won more than one category before. Wow!

This is the result of the combined work of many people – every pupil, every member of staff, every parent and every member of our wider Francis Holland Prep community – and we are incredibly grateful to every one of those people for their individual and collective contribution.

Thank you so much to The Week and their esteemed panel of judges for recognising what make our FHP community so unique, and congratulations to all the other winners and runners up!
