Holmewood House

Holmewood House is the leading prep school in the South-East with a well-deserved reputation for academic, sporting, musical and extra-curricular excellence.

Holmewood is a serious option for London-based parents who want a weekly boarding school in the country while maintaining a city lifestyle. Tunbridge Wells is just 50 minutes from Charing Cross which makes the return trip to school on a Sunday evening easily manageable. In fact, we offer a range of flexible boarding options.

At Holmewood House, we prepare children for the future, whether it is for tomorrow’s lessons, next week’s play, next month’s trip to the National Portrait Gallery or next year’s entrance exams to senior schools. There is always something new coming up on the horizon. We aim to give the pupils the best possible start to their education and their life, not just through the curriculum but also through the learning environment. We believe that we offer an outstanding education to our pupils within a truly exceptional teaching and learning environment.

In 2017, we will open our new £4.5million Learning Hub, which includes eight airy and spacious new classrooms, a state of the art library, an IT suite and learning support centre. These will be modern, adaptable and innovative facilities for children growing up and learning in an ever changing world. It will create a wonderful and striking blend of innovation and tradition, which is one of the hallmarks of the ‘Holmewood Adventure’.

The school has an enviable academic record of scholarships gained and Common Entrance exams safely negotiated. Over the last three years, pupils have gained 70 scholarships (academic, music, drama and sport) to a range of senior independent schools including Tonbridge, Brighton, Sevenoaks and Benenden.

Holmewood offers an outstanding education to all its pupils, whatever their abilities, interests and talents. Every individual in the school is encouraged to strive for their personal best in every sphere of school life so that their potential goes neither unidentified nor to waste. We can deliver the highest level and blend of teaching so that the children can access the best that the Holmewood curriculum has to offer.
