The Old School House, a neo-gothic Victorian building, has been transformed into Francis Holland’s Sixth Form centre offering the perfect transition between school and university.

This sophisticated and inspiring environment offers a Sixth Form experience like no other. Specialist facilities and resources combine with high levels of individual attention and a committed and experienced teaching staff to ensure that students are able to achieve their academic potential and consistently excellent A Level results each year.

The Old School House not only provides innovative and creative spaces for our Sixth Form students to study both independently and collaboratively, but also dedicated spaces in which to work, meet business mentors, prospective work experience employers and seek careers advice. Their wellbeing is supported by an outstanding pastoral team. Each student has a key tutor, who closely monitors her academic progress and general wellbeing, regularly convening 1-1 meetings. The Heads of Year and Head of Sixth Form oversee a carefully curated Form Time and Life Skills programme, covering everything from current affairs and study skills to how to approach sleep and nutrition. There is a fitness suite and kitchen in the building, as well as a beautiful common room to help students build all important lifelong friendships.

Sixth Formers enjoy numerous privileges as they develop greater independence in preparation for the transition to university or college life. There are also many opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities within the school. The girls receive extensive support in their plans for Higher Education, ensuring that they have access to the best courses and universities in the UK and overseas, including North America and Europe.

In June 2023, FHS were named winners of the national Muddy Stilettos Schools Awards, out of over 400 entrants, in the Special Sixth Form category – recognising our distinctive and innovative learning experience.
