Founded in 1710, Lady Eleanor Holles School (LEH) is one of the oldest and most prestigious academic girls’ schools in the country. Originally situated in Cripplegate in the City of London, the School moved in 1937 to purpose-built accommodation on its current 24-acre site in Hampton, Middlesex. It offers pupils not only an outstanding academic education, excellence in sport and in the creative and performing arts, but also many opportunities to enjoy a superb range of extra-curricular activities.

The School is a thriving and vigorous community of approximately 1000 pupils aged 7 - 18, including some 200 Sixth Formers, and 192 Junior School pupils.

**The Site**

The School’s extensive, 24 acre green site, including gardens, courts and playing fields, provides a spacious and attractive environment for work and play. It also enables us continually to seek to improve the facilities and thus the opportunities on offer to the pupils. Most recently, our Gateway Building has been developed to provide state-of-the-art facilities for Computing, Product Design and Modern Languages, whilst sports facilities have been further enhanced with a refurbished swimming pool, ergo room and activities studio. Our Arts Centre, completed in 2012, offers impressive space for teaching Music, Art and Drama. Central to this is a stunning theatre that offers a flexible performing, meeting and lecture space. Other additions have included a Learning Resources Centre, Sports Hall, an impressive Sixth Form Library and recently extended Sixth Form Common Rooms, the Q building with new classrooms for Maths and English, and additional Science Laboratories. The School also has a nearby modern Thames-side Boathouse.

The Junior School is housed in an elegant, refurbished building adjacent to the main school
