Alumnae

Forever LEH

LEH first opened its doors in 1710, thanks to the generosity and foresight of one remarkable woman, Lady Eleanor Holles. For over three hundred years, we have been producing remarkable women who, in turn, go on to do remarkable things. Today, our mission remains the same.

At LEH we encourage pupils to become informed, bold, resourceful, and ethical global citizens. People who are valued for the qualities and immeasurable richness they bring to our community. When they leave us, they’ll join a worldwide network of accomplished women who are shaping and changing the world. These young women will become part of a fabric of relationships that will benefit them personally and professionally for the rest her life.

Support wherever life takes you

Attending LEH gives students so much more than a top-class education. Their time here instils a sense of confidence, strength and resilience that stays with them long after they leave. We are every bit as proud of our alumnae and what they go on to achieve as we are of our pupils while they attend school. We continue to support and champion them always. Here some of our alumnae explain what LEH means to them and how it has continued to inspire them.

With The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award season now in full flow, we’re looking back at where it all began at LEH.

This photograph captures our very first DofE group from 1987 - the start of a tradition that has inspired generations of pupils!

Do you remember your DofE days? Do you recognise anyone in the photo? We’d love to hear your stories, especially the funny ones!

Take a closer look… do you recognise anyone on stage? Tag them below or drop a name in the comments — we love seeing our alumnae reconnect!

We were delighted to be joined by author and LEH alumna, Sarah Govett, Class of 1996, today for an inspiring talk about her journey from LEH schoolgirl to lawyer and published author. Her fascinating talk touched on her transition from writing successful YA novels to releasing her first adult novel, Believe, as well as her experience writing a screenplay for Netflix. We couldn`t be prouder of all Sarah has achieved and thank you for giving our future budding LEH authors the inspiration to achieve their dreams.
