Vison and Values
Francis Holland Prep provides a warm and caring environment where pupils thrive on exciting, rigorous and ambitious learning from dynamic teachers. A focus on the 8 Cs of curiosity, creativity, collaboration, communication, confidence, compassion, commitment and craftsmanship makes lessons fun and engaging, encouraging pupils to develop a lifelong love of learning.
The school cultivates confident girls who feel a strong sense of belonging within a supportive environment, as we know that when girls feel truly known, loved and valued for who they are, they go on to achieve extraordinary things. Experienced and inspirational teaching staff provide an environment which inspires, encourages and, above all, cares for our girls as individuals. We aim to empower them through a rigorous, but balanced, curriculum complemented by a wealth of sporting, dramatic, musical and artistic opportunities.
Francis Holland Prep is a unique community that fosters an awareness of the needs of others and a desire to make a difference. This emphasis on what you can give rather than what you get results in an environment full of kindness, compassion, and a palpable warmth that all visitors comment on. Girls are encouraged to be brave and have a go, no matter how great the challenges before them. They learn to debate with gusto, reflect on the world around them with empathy, solve problems creatively, and appreciate the bigger picture.
The Prep’s central location provides an outstanding platform for entry into leading Senior Schools, including our two Francis Holland Senior Schools. We expect many of our Prep pupils to join our senior school at Francis Holland, Sloane Square in Year 7 and we offer a ‘no surprises’ approach in this regard. Our high teacher-pupil ratio, along with our small class sizes, enable a high level of individual attention, providing the best possible preparation for 11+ entry. By the time the girls leave Francis Holland Prep at the end of Year 6, they are intellectually ready and excited to embrace life in their chosen senior school.
