Francis Holland School, London

In its own words: "We are a true microcosm of London, with a richly diverse pupil body drawn from both state and independent primary schools, locally and from further afield. Our central location, just a short distance from Baker Street, makes us easily accessible."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Founded in 1878, Francis Holland Regent’s Park has a long-standing history of combining educational excellence with empathy. This is a happy school and I never cease to be amazed by what our girls achieve. As a leading day school, academic standards are high with an excellent culture of pastoral care woven into our fabric."

Coming up: an open day on Tuesday 3 November 2026. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.

We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
