The Francis Holland Junior School Parents’ Association represents all parents and staff at Francis Holland Junior School.

Every new parent automatically becomes a member when their daughter joins Francis Holland Junior School and their active participation in the school community is encouraged and warmly welcomed.

The overall aim of the Parents’ Association is to encourage co-operation, support and good relations between all those associated with the school. Parents can participate in numerous ways, from volunteering to organise or help at an event to serving on the Committee. Getting involved is a great way to meet other parents and to get to know Francis Holland better.

Central to our mission as a school is the development of compassionate and community-minded young women.

We encourage our pupils to engage in charitable work in the community to instil a drive to help, and an awareness of the needs of others. Pupils, staff, parents and the Junior School Parents’ Association work hard to raise money for a range of causes including different international charities, as well as responding to the needs of our immediate neighbourhood. We are proud to support, along with the Senior School, two long standing local charities: In-Deep and the Katherine Low Settlement. Find out more about Francis Holland’s wider charitable endeavours here.

Charity fundraising takes many forms at Francis Holland Junior School, from cake sales and parent and pupil breakfasts, to selling honey and even Francis Holland Junior School Charity Dog Show!

The Junior School is committed to raising awareness of environmental sustainability. We ensure that environmental issues are taught thoughtfully and responsibly to girls across our curriculum, and we encourage our girls and families to be as sustainability focused as they can be. We aim to give the girls the knowledge they need to drive change, while also equipping them with the competencies and skills they will need to thrive in whatever their future may hold.

We have an elected Eco-champion in every class, share an eco-tip in assembly each week and foster ‘a switch off’ culture to ensure lights and computers are not left on unnecessarily. Our Eco-Committee has a large and growing membership that works hard on the Eco-Schools Green Flag seven step framework. Previous projects have included installing bird boxes on the school site, writing letters to world leaders and the introduction of TerraCycle boxes in each classroom.
