PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Francis Holland Preparatory School Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Enjoyable learning experience for the Children”


Receptive, approachable staff who make our child's learning experience enjoyable and ambitious.
“Highly Recommend”


The Hampshire School Chelsea offers a good, positive learning environment with a good balance between academic and non-academic activities.
“Delightful atmosphere”


A lovely school, all the children go in happy in the morning and come out happy and full of stories in the afternoon.
“Hidden gem”


This is an amazing school. We couldn't be happier with it. This school should be top of every list for parents wanting a top co-ed school for their child. From the moment you walk in the door you feel the happiness and positivity from the smallest child to the staff. The headmaster is welcoming and personal. He knows every child and family and has their best interests at heart. I love the fact that there is so much educational, hands on, interesting learning taking place. I highly recommend this school to everyone. The children are happy, positive and leave with so many options for top London schools. Trust me you can't go wrong with this school.
“Fantastic, friendly and well organised school where my child thrives.”


I am extremely happy with this school and their approach to support the development of a happy, self-confident and thriving child. I totally disagree with the below review regarding the headmaster. This is a big school compared to many small run local independent schools, and it takes someone with a lot of skills to keep it at its best when it comes to organisation. He has the skills, determination and a very well organised team as well to support him. The Hampshire School Chelsea has not only an incredible building with great facilities, where I finally have the feeling of a proper school here in the middle of London (not many can say the same, with small and crumbled buildings); a great parent community which makes you feel welcome and with staff which is always polite, professional and willing to help. Overall I would say 10/10 Overall, the school is the best choice we have made since moving our child from a previous local independent school, where he was not happy when it came to treatment from school staff in general. We love the school motto and approach to learning, where children are put first.
“Great School in Central London”


The Hampshire School Chelsea is a great school that I would highly recommend. I have 3 children ranging from Nursery to Year 2 who are enrolled there. The quality of teachers and staff is excellent and the education that the children are receiving is top-notch. They manage to provide a challenging curriculum while encouraging creativity and individuality. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who lives in central London.
“A happy mom”


The Hampshire School is home to kind and warm staff, and the school itself is a fantastic building.
