General information
Headteacher: Irina Tyk.
Background: Holland House School, Edgware, is an independent, non-denominational preparatory school for boys and girls from four to eleven years of age. Holland House provides an environment where children are happy and productive in the belief that enjoyment of school life does not preclude high academic achievement. Each child is helped to discover and to do what is right and to develop all the qualities of good character, including productiveness, honesty and justice to all. Holland House School seeks to identify the most that each child can do and then to make it possible for each child to achieve the most.At Holland House School, the children are encouraged to take part in many activities outside the classroom like Music lessons, Band, Dancing, Art, Judo Netball, Tennis. Emphasis is placed on Games and Sport. Boys play football every week from the age of seven, and cricket in the summer term. Girls in the top four forms play tennis once a week. All Games and P.E. instruction is carried out by qualified instructors. In addition, a Prize-giving concert and a Sports Day are held annually at the end of the summer term. A Christmas concert is organised each year.
Inspection: January 2005: 'This is a good school, with many strengths. It is very successful in meeting its aims. The pupils consistently attain high standards and achieve well, especially in English. Their individual talents are nurtured and celebrated. Teaching is good, overall, although assessment is not used well to inform teachers' planning. The school provides a sound curriculum, strong in English and the expressive arts, but weaker in the range of technological and investigational experiences it provides. Staff are nearly always positive, friendly and very caring. Great strengths of the school are the quality of relationships between staff and pupils and the very good behaviour of pupils. These result in a very good ethos for learning. Although the staff take good care of pupils' welfare, health and safety, some school policies do not fully reflect the current guidance and do not meet the regulations.'
