“We take pride in our ability to nurture pupils”

Holmewood House is a coeducational, non-selective Preparatory School for children aged 3-13 situated in 30 acres of glorious grounds in Tunbridge Wells. With new Head, Ruth O’Sullivan, at the helm, the school is developing a curriculum that empowers children to be idea generators and creative, resilient human beings. We encourage intellectual curiosity and expect our pupils to ask questions, solve problems and work collaboratively.

“We see pastoral care as inextricably linked to attainment: children are encouraged to understand and deal with their emotions, to understand how they learn, and to understand their privilege in the world and their responsibility to the planet.”

Children at Holmewood House are encouraged to climb trees, make dens, and enjoy the great outdoors. We are creating an outdoor learning area centred on our newly redeveloped pond, a fantastic natural resource supporting the development of forest school.

We take pride in our ability to nurture pupils with outstanding ability who can benefit from what the school has to offer, yet might not be able to attend without financial support. At Year 7, Scholarships are offered to children showing excellence in these areas: academic, sport, music, art and drama. Academic Scholarships for entry to Year 3 are available. Holmewood House has a strong record of scholarship success to destination schools at 13+. Twenty pupils secured scholarship places in 2022 to some of the UK’s top independent schools.
