Holland House School

Choosing the right school for your child can be a stressful process, the responsibility of “getting it right” weighing heavily on the minds of many families. Thus, on behalf of the pupils, staff and Governors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website and to give some insight into life at Holland House.

We are a small, Independent school with huge character! Holland House pupils are characterized by their enthusiasm, vitality, confidence & polite-respectfulness. They are articulate, bright and show a keen interest in the world around them. The well-being of our pupils is at the heart of everything do; our ethos is to develop happy, confident children who value their education and take pride and responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. Through the “4 Pillars of Holland House” which are the moral, intellectual, civic and performance virtues, our dedicated teachers strive to develop every aspect of the child, encouraging both leadership and teamwork whilst giving all children the confidence to speak up and articulate their views. We encourage a growth mindset across the school where children learn to embrace challenge and understand that making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process and nothing of which to be ashamed.

We are a selective school and very proud of the academic achievement of our pupils; our results at 11+ speak for themselves. Maths and English are prioritized as we firmly believe that these form the foundation for the rest of the curriculum: History, geography, science … none of these subjects are accessible without a solid grounding in the key areas of English and Maths. We have a rich and stimulating curriculum, with art, drama, music, dance, French, PE and IT all taught by specialist teachers.

Aims & Ethos
Holland House is an academically selective school that provides a high-quality learning environment which aims to provide an opportunity for every child to reach their potential. We recognise each child to be unique with individual needs and talents. We support pupils’ development in a stimulating and creative academic environment.
