Lady Eleanor Holles School A GSG School

What says..

Legendary for sports and the facilities in this 23 acre plot are outstanding for a girls’ day school. Some parents choose the school on the strength of the sports alone. Lacrosse, not surprisingly, is the main winter game and played to win – which they do. Rowing also a speciality - a welcome rarity in a girls’ school. Few teach academia better and it’s done via thrilling, not drilling. ‘What’s the point in boring them into submission?’ says head. Seriously good school to consider if you have mobility problems or are wheelchair-bound – flattish site, lifts and wide corridors, plus can-do approach...

What the school says...

The Lady Eleanor Holles School is one of the country's most distinguished girls' schools. Located in Hampton, Middlesex, on the outskirts of south-west London, we balance opportunities for outstanding scholarship with impressive achievements in sport and exciting creativity in arts.

With superb facilities, we offer bright girls a well-rounded and challenging education in a very happy, purposeful environment, preparing them for higher education and their future lives. The school stands on a wonderful 23 acre site, the building surrounded by gardens and playing fields. This spacious environment allows a great range of outdoor sporting activities and has also enabled us to build numerous extensions to enhance our facilities.

Pastoral care has a high priority at the school, and staff are committed to promoting the welfare and happiness of each girl. Up to 20% of each year group may proceed to university at Oxford or Cambridge; the majority go on to universities which belong to the prestigious Russell Group. ...Read more

What The Good Schools Guide says

Headmistress

Since 2014, Heather Hanbury, previously head of Wimbledon High. MA Edinburgh, MSc Cambridge in geography then land economy. Prior to teaching, she spent nine years working in various management consultancy roles in the City, then as a corporate fundraiser – ‘real world’ experience that both pupils and parents value. Moved into teaching because she was so frequently told she ‘should’ – ‘but I initially resisted it because I don't like to do the expected,’ she laughs. Eventually had a change of heart and took a PGCE with the express ambition of becoming a head. ‘I always wanted to run things. I like making organisations efficient, effective and happy’ – something that everyone agrees she’s achieved, with bells on.

Began her teaching career at Blackheath High School in 1996, quickly rising...

Independent schools frequently offer IGCSEs or other qualifications alongside or as an alternative to GCSE. The DfE does not record performance data for these exams so independent school GCSE data is frequently misleading; parents should check the results with the schools.

Special Education Needs

The school caters particularly well for gifted and talented children for whom our normal school curriculum is designed. Additional provision is made for the exceptionally gifted or talented child. The selective nature of the school entrance test means that all pupils are able to follow the same curriculum, but the school does provide short one-to-one courses of learning support, when needed, for those with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyspraxia, the cost of which is additional to the normal school fee. Pupils with physical disabilities can be accommodated depending on the severity of their condition: there is wheel-chair access to most parts of the school. Special educational needs are always dealt with on an individual basis and enquiries about the level of provision that can be offered are welcome. 09-09
