About Lady Eleanor Holles School

Lady Eleanor Holles School is an independent day school for girls, founded on Christian values whilst warmly welcoming pupils of all faiths and none. Situated to serve families across a wide area in and around west London, the school draws pupils largely from professional families and offers junior and senior pupils access to shared facilities, including specialist computing spaces and a swimming pool. The school is committed to creating an environment built on support, opportunity, challenge, and friendship. It encourages every pupil to take risks, grow in confidence, and discover her own passions and talents, with the goal of helping each girl become her boldest, most capable self — both as a student and as a member of the wider world. The school works to ensure that all pupils are appropriately stretched and supported. This includes provision for those with special educational needs and disabilities, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, as well as tailored support for pupils for whom English is an additional language.
