GIVING
Francis Holland Regent's Park has countless strengths, not least its dedicated staff, its impressive cohort of pupils, its committed parent body and its incredible Alumni Network.
As the School continues to go from strength to strength, the Francis Holland Regent’s Park Giving programme offers us all an opportunity to build on our successes.
At Francis Holland Regent’s Park, we want every girl to benefit from an excellent, balanced education in a supportive, friendly, and happy community. To help us realise this ambition, we invite you to support our Giving programme.

Ways to Support Us
BURSARIES
Help us enrich our community by offering our outstanding education to talented and gifted pupils, regardless of their financial circumstances. Please visit Her Gift to learn more about our transformational bursary programme.
We also offer hardship awards which helps cover school fees (or a % of fees) to the end of the current year, ensuring that no pupil’s education is disrupted due to an unexpected change in their family’s financial circumstance.
WIDER SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT
Help us invest in enhanced the school’s facilities and curriculum. Recent parental donations made possible the creation of the outstanding Sixth Form Centre, Linhope House, and the renovation of our Library. To contact the development office please email or phone 020 7535 2772.
BURSARIES
We want to be able to welcome many more gifted pupils, regardless of their background. The more widely we can offer an outstanding Francis Holland education for life, the greater the benefit to women, to society at large and to our community.
We are committed to widening access to the outstanding opportunities that our school has to offer for those who might significantly benefit from the experience but may never have been able to consider it. This commitment is reflected through the launch of our transformational bursary programme, The Gift Campaign.
In addition to transformational bursaries, we offer hardship awards to support families already at the school during times of unexpected financial need.
There are a number of ways you can support transformational bursaries or hardship awards.
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US:
“I always took full advantage of the huge range of opportunities that FHS had to offer, and gained valuable skills both in and out of the classroom. My time at FHS shaped my interests, and I was given a level of support I wouldn’t have received elsewhere.”

Past Projects
LIBRARY PROJECT 2025
We are delighted that the newly renovated Francis Holland Regent’s Park Library has opened and is being enjoyed by all pupils. The new space offers flexible areas for independent study, collaborative group work, and pupil-led discussions, all supported by state-of-the-art resources.
Together, our community raised over £100,000, enabling us to reimagine the Library as a modern, flexible, and inspiring environment for learning, collaboration, and reading. With your support, we have created a space that blends tradition with innovation, and that will foster scholarship and curiosity for years to come.
‘For generations of pupils over the last 147 years, the Library has been a sanctuary: a place to read widely, to research deeply, and to develop a lifelong love of learning. The transformation of this wonderful space would not have been possible without the generous support of our school community.’ Katharine Woodcock, Head
LINHOPE HOUSE 2022
We are thrilled that our Sixth Form Centre, Linhope House, has opened and is being enjoyed by the Lower and Upper Sixth.
Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we raised c.£307,000 (including Gift Aid) in just under five months, which enabled us to transform this Georgian building into an innovative 16+ education hub, where Sixth Form students can flourish and experience a perfect transition between school and university; today, tomorrow and for years to come.

ACCELERATION PROJECT 2021
We set out to raise much needed funds to allow us to fast-track several renovation plans that were forecast to commence over three years. Thanks to the generosity of our parents, we raised £389,137.50 (including Gift Aid). Not only does did this far exceed our target, but it shows the community spirit which has always excelled at Francis Holland Regent’s Park.
The funds allowed us to revamp our main art studio, music rooms and the girls’ bathroom. Remaining funds were kept aside as seed funding for Linhope House, as the works on the Main School Building roof were suspended due to the purchase of Linhope House.
"Since we’ve been using the newly refurbished Art Studio, I have noticed a huge change in the working environment…When you work in a space that looks and feels professional, you produce better work”.
