Introduction to the Junior School

Francis Holland Junior School provides an extremely happy, warm and lively environment, in which each individual grows, gains self-worth, is confident and has a great enthusiasm for learning.  As  the 2007 Independent Schools Inspectorate report noted: 'From Reception up, they are eager, well-motivated learners who think critically and are articulate in putting forward their views in lessons'.

Above all, the Junior School fosters the care and awareness of the needs of others, not only in the School community but in the wider world.  This too was noted by ISI: 'Girls in the Junior department display noticeable respect and concern for others'.

The Junior School staff is highly experienced, with a record of excellent results. Juniors also have the added advantage of being taught by specialist teachers from the Senior School and they benefit from the dedicated ICT and Science facilities.

A close relationship between parents, teachers and girls is fostered at all times. Parents know that there is ‘an open door policy' and they are kept well informed at all stages of their daughter's development.
