Norland Place School is a co-educational independentpreparatory school for boys and girls 4–11 inHolland Park,London. The school was founded in 1876 byEmily Lord.[1]
Founded in 1876 byEmily Lord, Norland Place School originally housed at 9Norland Place, now known as No.166Holland Park Avenue. In the late nineteenth century, the school moved into Nos.164, 166 and 168 Holland Park Avenue.[2] In 1915, Elizabeth MacClymont became headmistress, a position she held for thirty-four years. In the 1920s, Swedish carpentry (slöjd) was amongst the subjects taught to some 332 pupils at the school and Norland obtained its own sports ground inEaling, where hockey, cricket and tennis were taught. Upon MacClymont's retirement in 1949, the school's wrought iron gates were put up.[3]
From September 2020, the school will embark on a three-year plan to accommodate boys in Years 4 to 6.[4] Most boys progress to schools such asSussex House,Colet Court,Westminster Under andWetherby.[5] Most girls progress to schools such asFrancis Holland,Downe House andSt Paul's Girls' School.[4][5]
Norland has been described byThe Good Schools Guide as a "very traditional school (from the berets and boaters to the emphasis on good manners and fair play) but combined with a forward-looking approach."[6] According toTatler, Norland is one of London's topprep schools.[4]
