Lady Eleanor Holles School
Lady Eleanor Holles School (often abbreviated to LEH or LEHS) is a private day school for girls in Hampton, London. It consists of a small junior school and a larger senior school, which operate from different buildings on the same 24-acre (10-hectare) site. It is a member of the Girls' Schools Association and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
The school was founded in 1710 with an endowment from Lady Eleanor Holles, the daughter of John Holles, 2nd Earl of Clare. The original site is commemorated by a plaque on one of the Barbican walkways.
In 1878, the middle school moved to a new building at 182 Mare Street in East Hackney, which was later owned by the Cordwainers Company and now forms part of the London College of Fashion.
In 1937 the school moved to its permanent site in Hampton. The first buildings in Hampton were designed by Colonel F. S. Hammond, whose father had designed the Hackney school and were opened by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
The school celebrated its 300th anniversary with a thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral, London on 18 November 2011, then a eucharist at Trinity College, Cambridge and a ball at The Hurlingham Club in May 2012.
Pupils come from a wide catchment area extending as far as Ealing, Woking, Wimbledon and Ascot, and there is an extensive coach service running over 23 routes operated jointly with Hampton School. The area is well served with public transport. The 111 public bus runs in front of Hampton School and the 285 bus runs at the back of the Junior School which has a direct walkway to the senior school which only students and staff can access. Around two-thirds come from South East Asian backgrounds; the rest from a mix of ethnic backgrounds. It is not affiliated with any other school or foundation and operates as an independent registered charity and limited company overseen by a board of governors.
The Independent Schools Inspectorate Integrated report in 2013 said "It aims to develop well-rounded individuals while striving for academic excellence."
The school's facilities include the Millennium Boat House on the Thames, used by the Lady Eleanor Holles School Boat Club and jointly owned with the adjacent Hampton School. The arts centre with 330-seat theatre designed by Walters & Cohen and completed in 2013 won a RIBA London Award in 2014.
