Welcome to the LEH Community

When your daughter joins Lady Eleanor Holles School, you and your family become part of an extraordinary community. Here, we believe the very best education is a partnership between home and school. Together, we help our pupils choose to succeed, rise to challenges, lift others, inspire trust, embrace personal agency and find joy in learning and in life.

We provide many opportunities for parents to come into school each year – from Welcome events at the beginning of Autumn term and tailored events to support your daughter at important points in her education journey, to Head’s Forum meetings where parents can submit questions about any topic. Any specific questions or information about your daughter’s academic progress, wellbeing or health should be emailed to her Form Tutor in the first instance who will arrange for any appropriate follow up with our wider leadership team.

We encourage our parents to actively participate in school life as much as possible. From the sparkle of the Christmas Fair to the applause at a school play, parents bring our community to life. Parents are invited to join us for sports fixtures, concerts, careers events and social gatherings.

Every parent’s involvement – large or small – helps our pupils to aim higher and achieve more. The most meaningful connections often come from the simplest moments – talking about the day’s events, celebrating achievements or sharing laughter.

LEH in Partnership with Parents

At LEH, we believe that working in partnership with parents is key to giving your daughter the best possible foundation for all her achievements and wider fulfilment. We also value your input and feedback and you can share your thoughts by taking part in our regular parent surveys and by attending key information evenings and events throughout the school year. You can stay up-to-date on all that is happening by reading the Friday Post each week and visiting the LEH Parent Portal regularly.

We provide parents with practical support on a number of issues relating to children and teenagers – through our Raising Resilience parent resources for parents with daughters in our Junior School, to practical tips and talks through The Wellbeing Hub for parents at our Senior School – as well as our Science of Learning videos that explain how children learn, produced for us be renowned educational researcher Dr Carl Hendrick. All of this can be found on the LEH Parent Portal.

From the drama of the stage and the creativity of our awe-inspiring art exhibitions, to the excitement of the playing field, there are many moments to share in the successes of our pupils. Your presence at these occasions shows our pupils that their efforts are recognised, valued and celebrated. Please do come along to show your support.

A Thriving, Generous Community

The life of LEH is enriched by the generosity, talent and enthusiasm of our parents. Every exceptional school is strengthened by a strong network of families who contribute their time, skills and support. At LEH, there are countless ways to take part – each one helping to strengthen our community and the education we provide.

The Friends of LEH

As soon as your daughter becomes an LEH pupil, you become a Friend of LEH – our parent association and a registered charity. The Friends of LEH (FLEHS) foster connection, organise memorable events for pupils and parents, and enhance the girls’ education through fundraising for exceptional opportunities, resources and experiences. We are incredibly grateful to the Friends for their wonderful enthusiasm and support.

Every parent is automatically a member of The Friends. A voluntary £20 annual subscription per family supports the work of the association, and if you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows your contribution to go even further. The Friends host a wide range of events each year, bringing the community together while raising funds to enrich our pupils’ experience.

You can visit the Friends’ website for more information.
