History

[edit]
1810 portrait of Caroline Fox, then aged 43, by James Northcote

The school was founded in 1842, as a charity school "for the education of children of the labouring, manufacturing and other poorer classes" of Kensington by Caroline Fox.[2] Fox was the only daughter of Stephen Fox, 2nd Baron Holland, of Holland House, Kensington, sister of Henry Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland, who owned most of the land within the manor of Kensington,[2][3] and niece of the Whig statesman Charles James Fox.[4]

At the time of the school's establishment Fox was living at Little Holland House, on the west side of today's Holland Park, and the school was sited nearby.[5] In 1876 the school was taken over by the London School Board and moved to a new site in Silver Street, today the northern end of Kensington Church Street.[2] The school moved a third time in 1937 to its present site[6] on Kensington Place.
