Whether you are looking at either of our two Francis Holland senior schools (Francis Holland, Sloane Square and Francis Holland, Regent’s Park), other leading London day schools, or boarding, we provide an outstanding platform for entry. We work alongside our parents to ensure the transition to senior school is as seamless and stress free as possible.

We expect many of our Prep pupils to join our senior school at Francis Holland, Sloane Square in Year 7 and we offer a ‘no surprises’ approach in this regard.  In Year 5 Mrs Dixon, the Head of Francis Holland Prep, along with your daughter’s class teacher, meets with each set of parents to discuss your daughter’s progress and the various options you may be considering for her senior school.  Support for this process continues throughout Years 5 and 6.

All Prep pupils wishing to transition to the Sloane Square Senior School sit the London 11+ Consortium Examination at the Prep School.

Our experienced and dedicated teachers ensure the girls are prepared for the next exciting stage in their educational journey. We continue to stretch and challenge our pupils and encourage them to reach their full potential with our 18-month 11+ curriculum programme. Our high teacher-pupil ratio along with our small class sizes enable a high level of individual attention, providing the best possible preparation for 11+ entry to the schools of your choice. Your daughter will be introduced to different tests in Year 5, as well as the 11+ syllabus and interview practice.

By the time the girls leave Francis Holland Prep at the end of Year 6, they are intellectually ready and excited to embrace life in their chosen senior school.
