Education at Holland Park
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Holland Park School philosophy was to ensure large student numbers (over 1900) with the idea that the resulting size would enable more subject choices for the students. Indeed, amongst the more typical foreign languages Latin, Russian and Spanish were taught.
In the early 1960s, each school year was divided into A, B, C, D, and E streams up until the 3rd year. As the groups were so large, they were again divided, typically into 3. Later the "A" "B" etc. grading was considered to be bad for children's self-esteem, so "A" "B" and "C" were replaced by "H" "P" and "S" (Holland Park School). Nowadays, the banding system is divided into 4 bands, each with 3 levels inside them.
Holland is a region and former province on the western coast of the Netherlands. The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other countries, but in the Netherlands and particularly in other regions of the country it could be found undesirable or even insulting.
From the 10th to the 16th century, Holland proper was a unified political region within the Holy Roman Empire as a county ruled by the Counts of Holland. By the 17th century, Holland had risen to become a maritime and economic power, dominating the other provinces of the newly independent Dutch Republic.
Holland is a toponomical surname indicative of ancestral origin in the Dutch region of Holland, the Netherlands, or the English region of Holland (Lincolnshire), or the English towns of Upholland (Lancashire) and Holland-on-Sea (Essex). It is also an Anglicized version of Ó hUallacháin (or Houlihan or Holohan) and is a common surname on the [Beara Peninsula]] in southwestern County Cork, Ireland. It is also found in places where Beara immigrants settled, such as Butte, Montana, and southeastern Massachusetts.
Holland is the 19th studio album by the American rock group The Beach Boys, released in January 1973. It was recorded in Baambrugge, Netherlands over the summer of 1972 using a reconstructed studio sent from California, and with two Brian Wilson tracks rush-recorded in Los Angeles and added to the album at the last minute. The photograph on the album's front cover is an upside down image of the Kromme Waal, a canal that runs through the center of Amsterdam.
Holland included a bonus EP, Mount Vernon and Fairway (A Fairy Tale), a musical fairy tale written by Brian Wilson about a magical transistor radio who appears to a young prince. Narration was provided by the group's manager: Jack Rieley.
Background
Just as Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" was coming to print, the Beach Boys, at manager Jack Rieley's urging, decided to pack up and record their next album in the Netherlands. They felt the change of scenery would make for some inspirational sessions, and perhaps even snap former leader Brian Wilson out of his deep depression.
New Comprehensive School (1959) - Holland Park School Opening
"Super School Opening", 1958. Original British Pathe newsreel.
"A country-like setting in the heart of London, that's the good fortune of Holland Park school, built to accommodate 2,000 boys and girls. They're getting education under ideal conditions"
We see Lady Norman opening the school officially in the main hall. We're told the equipment in the school cost £60,000 and is amongst the best in the country.
A girl dissects a dog-fish in a school lab, we also see a room of girls learning to type and a shot of boys playing waterpolo in the school swimming pool.
Note: According to the Holland Park School Wikipedia page, notable alumni includes Polly Toynbee, Omid Djalili, Miquita Oliver, Jasper Harris, Flora Fraser and Matthew Symonds.

Walking through holland park Where romantic poets have left their mark The time of year, the way I feel I dream of you, the dream is real I watch the flowers grow Change their clothes and die I wonder why You and I may never be the same again I always hold you close to my heart When I'm walking through holland park Lost in my thoughts again Disaster's road Has been walked by better men In every tree, in every stone The sound of love walked alone Oh mighty love you are A heavy cross to bear And it's so unfair You and I may never be the same again I always hold you close to my heart When I'm walking through holland park I won't let me drown my emotions Even though I'd just as soon forget The voices made the most of the magic And the moment So I just listen to my life and to my breath In every tree in every stone The sound of love that walked alone Oh mighty love, you are a heavy cross to bear And it's so unfair You and I may never be the same again I always hold you close to my heart When I'm walking through holland park I always hold you close to my heart
