THE SCHOOL

Francis Holland Regent's Park, founded in 1878 by the Reverend Canon Francis Holland, is an academically selective independent day school for girls aged 11-18, and is located in the heart of London. It is one of three schools within the Francis Holland Schools Trust. While each school maintains its own distinctive character and identity, they are united by a common purpose: to safeguard the wellbeing of young people, nurture their potential, build resilience, and support them in becoming fulfilled individuals who make a positive impact in an ever-changing, interconnected world.

Francis Holland Regent's Park central location makes the school easily accessible. Pupils commute from across the city, supported by excellent public transport links, including numerous bus routes and proximity to Baker Street station. Whilst space in central London is limited, the school is fortunate to have Regent's Park right at the doorstep where pupils make daily use of its outstanding outdoor facilities for both sport and leisure.
