Head’s Welcome

As Head of Francis Holland Junior School for six years, I have had the privilege of leading a wonderfully happy, friendly and ambitious community of 4 to 11-year-old girls, and I am now delighted and excited to further this success as we move to our new home in Chelsea.

Francis Holland Preparatory School cultivates confident girls who are eager to share their latest fascinating discoveries and achievements. They feel a strong sense of belonging to a supportive community, as we know that when girls feel truly known, loved and valued for who they are, they go on to achieve extraordinary things.

Your daughter will thrive on creative, thought-provoking learning from teachers who will unearth her natural curiosity, feeding it with the foundations needed to develop a deep love of learning and an ever-growing imagination. This thirst for knowledge is evident in our girls’ creative writing, philosophical enquiry, environmental understanding, historical exploration and scientific discoveries.

By Year 6, these lively and inquisitive 10-year-olds will already be debating with gusto, reflecting on the world around them with care and empathy and solving problems creatively. They will be emotionally resilient and intellectually prepared for the transition to their next school, heading off with a listening ear, an alert brain and an eager eye as their next big adventure approaches!
