Year 7

Applicants are offered places in this order:

• LAC
• 24 places for visual arts
• Children of staff
• Siblings currently in Years 7 – 10
• Distance to school by band (A – D)

All applicants who place Holland Park as one of their six preferences will automatically be invited for the banding test on 9th November - expect to receive further information by no later than Tuesday, 5th November. 

If your child cannot make this day, or has a clash, there will be a further banding test in early January 2025. All applicants who do not attend on 9^th November, will be automatically invited for this further test.

Students who select Holland Park School as their first preference when applying via the eAdmissions process will automatically be added to our waiting list after 1^st March, and thus invited to our further Year 6 Open Morning tour on 29^th April 2025.

If you want to ensure your child is offered a place at Holland Park, you must list us as your (first) 
preference – you will not be placed on our waiting list if you have been offered a place at a school you place further up the preference list

• Band A: 2.456 miles
• Band B: 2.494 miles
