About Welcome from the Principal About Welcome from the Principal Values & Ethos Staff Key Information Governors United Learning Results and Performance Dame Sally Coates, Holland Park School Executive Principal Welcome from the Executive Principal on behalf of all the students and staff at Holland Park School, thank you for your interest in our school.
Holland Park School is a unique and extraordinary school. We are a non-selective comprehensive school in inner West London, and we pride ourselves on the diversity of our 1,300 students and our ambition for everyone in our school to achieve their very best. We believe that every child only gets one shot at education, and this is it.
Over the course of these five or seven years, they have the power to shape their future. These years determine whether they get the place at the university of their dreams, whether they make it into the college or onto that apprenticeship they ve been eagerly looking at, and will shape the person they become as an adult.
