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.
Children at Holland House School are welcomed with a smile each day and encouraged to persevere when they meet challenges but also build resilience to cope with the times when things go wrong.
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.
Our main point of entry into the school is our Reception Year and places are awarded based on a 4+ assessment. This is designed to identify pupils who are able to benefit from our academic, balanced and well-rounded education as well as make a positive contribution towards the life of the school.
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited school! This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children's resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self-regulate in those stressful times.
Pastoral Care of our pupils is at the very heart of all that we do here at Holland House School.
Holland House is a ‘Tooled Up School’. Our parents now have access to a digital library containing the most up-to-date, evidence-based tips that will enable the children to thrive.
