“Outstanding facilities in a safe and beautiful environment which allows the children to enjoy both an outstanding education and, most importantly, a wonderful childhood.�
Headmaster’s welcome Holmewood House is a 3–13 years boarding preparatory school located on the outskirts of the stunning town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Not only are we located in a beautiful and incredibly safe 32 acre estate with outstanding facilities, we are within an hour of London and all of its major airports. We are extremely proud of our broad and varied curriculum and the opportunities this offers our pupils. At the same time, we are equally proud of our reputation for pupils gaining places to some of the United Kingdom’s best senior schools, without losing sight of the fact that our pupils are still young and should be enjoying their childhood! This is all possible by ensuring that we recruit only the very best professionals to teach and care for our pupils. I am a firm believer that if a school gets the human component of education right, then a child’s growth and development will follow. After all, teaching is a human interaction and the richness of the relationships and the level of care offered to the children will go a long way in determining a child’s educational journey. Boarding is something very close to my heart, having boarded in a school in the United Kingdom from the age of 11 whilst my parents worked overseas. As a result, I feel that I have a high degree of empathy for the challenges faced by parents considering a boarding school for their child. At the same time, many of the boarding team at Holmewood House have either boarded themselves or have worked in boarding schools for many years, making them adept at supporting the children in their care, and indeed their parents when making this important family decision. Our boarding community is a warm and caring community, full of friendship, activity, fun and happiness! I would be delighted if you chose to visit us and would be proud to show you our school. With best wishes, Scott Carnochan Headmaster
A home from home A ‘home from home’ environment where children are cared for by adults who are highly experienced in boarding education and who create an environment where children feel safe, secure, loved and nurtured’.
Breadth of opportunity So much opportunity available to our pupils, both inside the classroom and out, which enriches our educational provision in the broadest sense.
Truly international We are a rich and diverse community which truly enhance the educational journey taken by our pupils.
Perfectly placed Holmewood House is located on the outskirts of the beautiful town of Royal Tunbridge Wells in the county of Kent (the garden of England).
