The school encourages new members to join its 1881 Circle. Marking the year of our founding, the 1881 Circle is a unique opportunity to join fellow parents, alumni and other well wishers who are committed to widening access to the school for talented girls with promise.
The 1881 Circle encourages donors to make a gift in some form related to 1881, be that £188.10 per month or £1,881, monthly or annually. Your regular gift will be pivotal in supporting Francis Holland Sloane Square to deliver its transformational bursary programme, which aims to reach 50 students by 2032 and to supporting our future plans for the school’s campus.
In recognition of your support, you will be invited annually to two 1881 Circle receptions and other events. You will also be acknowledged in the annual FHS Magazine and Alumni Association publications as a valued member of the 1881 Circle.

Leaving a gift in your will is a remarkable way of supporting the school and will be hugely significant in helping Francis Holland Sloane Square to transform its bursary scheme.
Our legacy society is named after the school’s founder, Canon Francis Holland, who was Chaplain to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII and a visionary in philanthropy and education.
Should you choose to let us know of your intention to leave a gift in your will, we would be delighted to invite you to join the Canon Francis Holland Legacy Society. Members of the society are invited to special events and, if they wish, are acknowledged on a plaque in the main school building.

In order to deliver our ambitious new bursary programme, we will be reliant on our ever generous community of former pupils, staff, friends and parents to make regular gifts to the School.
Regular giving will help the School to deliver its plans with confidence. Supporters are invited to contribute a regular amount to the Transformational Bursary Fund, helping the School reach its goal of widening its accessibility and diversity, and transforming the lives of 25 additional pupils by 2032.
All donations, no matter what size, will take us closer to our goal.

When alumni, parents and friends come together to support the school, they change lives. Every contribution from our alumni community counts, whether it be your time, your talent or treasure. Your donation will help to ensure talented, deserving girls are able to enjoy a Francis Holland Education.
The effect of us all coming together as a community in support is so powerful. 17 Old Girls donating £100 a month (with gift aid), will pay for a full year bursary, providing a girl with a truly transformational experience.
We would like to encourage all our alumni to give what they feel they can. Every penny makes a difference and provides a girl with a start in life that knows no bounds, but please take a moment to consider The 1881 Circle and Legacy Giving through The Canon Francis Holland Legacy Society.
Please email the Development Office if you would like to discuss your donation or have any questions.
