Francis Holland Schools Trust comprises three leading independent girls' schools in three central London locations.
Francis Holland, Regent's Park, was founded in 1878 and is an academically selective independent day school for girls aged 11-18 situated next to Regent's Park.
Francis Holland, Sloane Square, founded just three years later in 1881, is an academically selective independent day school for girls aged 11-18 in the heart of Belgravia.
In September 2024, Francis Holland Junior School will relocate to an iconic Victorian Grade II listed building, just off the King's Road, and will become Francis Holland Preparatory School for girls aged 4-11.
Now with 1,300 girls across its three schools and 220 teaching staff, the Trust provides financial stability through a shared Bursary and a Board of Governors known as The Council.
There is a close working relationship between the Chair of Governors, the school Heads, and the Chief Operating Officer to ensure a dynamic, smooth-running organization.
The Trust, however, recognises the different character of each school, and great value is placed on the autonomy each Head has over their school in terms of staffing, curriculum, uniform, and culture.
The outstanding achievements of the schools within the Trust have ensured a unique position and reputation within the British independent school sector, and the continued success of Francis Holland Schools is assured through our academic results, strong growth, and continued development.
