Francis Holland Prep Admissions

Francis Holland Preparatory School, which opened in September 2024, will provide your daughter with an extremely happy, warm and lively environment, in which she can grow, gain self-worth, be confident and enjoy a great enthusiasm for learning.

Francis Holland’s Junior School at Sloane Square relocated to the site of The Hampshire School to become a two form entry Prep school for girls aged 4-11. The main entry point to the Prep School is at 4+ for Reception but as we are doubling our dedicated space there will be a small number of places available in Years 1-6 for September 2025. Planning for small class sizes of 20 will enable us to maintain the level of individual attention for each child and the nurturing and friendly environment for which Francis Holland is renowned.

4+ Admissions (Reception)

For 4+ entry, we suggest that when your daughter is approaching two years of age, you book a place at one of our Open Mornings where you will have the opportunity to meet the Head, staff and current pupils as well as enjoy a tour of the School.

Our next Open Morning takes place on Tuesday 23rd September 2025 and can be booked via the ‘Open Events’ button below.

Registrations for entry in September 2026 are now open.

Please note the following key dates for September 2026 entry:
