Holland House

Why are we called Holland?

Reverend Holland was a key figure in saving the school by working hard to raise funds as well as using his own money. In 1879 Prince Henry’s Grammar School was moved from Merstow Green to Lanesfield on Greenhill.

Lanesfield remained the location of the school until 1909, when the recently merged Prince Henry’s Grammar School and Deacle School moved into new buildings at the school’s current site on Victoria Avenue.

Your House Ambassadors and House Leaders

Your Holland House Ambassadors and House Leaders have a really important role within the school community. They represent you and are your voice for all things Prince Henry’s. It’s important to speak to these representatives with any ideas, concerns or queries. They will then represent you at the termly House and Diversity Council meetings, where all Ambassadors and leaders assemble to discuss various important topics and share your voice.

House Leaders from Year 12 take on further responsibilities of supporting the Head of House with running clubs as well as helping organise and lead House events. This is a great way for Leaders taking part in Gold D of E to work towards their Leadership Award.

Sports Captains

Your Holland Sports Captains support Heads of Houses with organising teams for their year groups’ Inter-House sport competitions. You will see these Captains throughout the year during form time, building the House teams to collectively strive for success. If you have any queries around PE/Sport at Prince Henry’s, your Captains can share your views at the termly Sports Captain meetings with Mr Thompson (Head of Physical Education).

Miss Fenney’s Club

As a teacher of Physical Education, I run multiple sports clubs throughout the year for all girls. Girls’ Fitness Club takes place Thursday after school and is a great opportunity to use the state-of-the-art Fitness Suite we have here at Prince Henry’s High School. I also support with Hockey Club, Netball Club, Football Club and Cricket Club. All ages are welcome so please see the PE extracurricular notice boards or come and see me to find out when these clubs are on throughout the year.
