About Holland Park School

Holland Park School sits within the Kensington and Chelsea local authority, one of eight state secondary schools in the borough. Among its local peers, the school is outranked by The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial RC School, All Saints Catholic College, and St. Thomas More Language College, with the nearest outstanding-rated school, The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial RC School, just 0.8 kilometres away. The school is a mixed, non-denominational secondary with a sixth form, led by headteacher Sally Coates, and currently educates 1,336 pupils aged 11 to 18. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, however, placed it in a difficult position: the school was rated Inadequate overall, with behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management both judged Inadequate, and quality of education and personal development both Requires improvement. Only the sixth form provision was rated Good. This marks a sharp decline from its previous inspection in 2014, when the school was judged Outstanding across all available categories.
