We are looking at becoming potential slum areas.”[ii] “Had we known that [there would be increases in density] we would have vigorously opposed the busway,” she said “This is being done by stealth.“ The irony is that many of the houses in Holland Park are former Housing Commission constructed at low cost and sold to owners with mortgages heavily subsidised by the government In Holland Park, Tim Quinn was booed and heckled by a large crowd while fronting a public meeting and the proposal to rezone parts of Holland Park West was eventually abandoned.[iii] He said “Any time you propose a planning change even though it might have a lot of logic behind it naturally the local community will have its concerns.” When asked by journalists if the Queensland Government supported the council’s proposal then Transport Minister Steve Bredhauer stated that “it’s the council’s local area plan and you were right to pursue it with Tim.” and 20 years later you can still only build a single family Opposing development is a successful political strategy Planning and development is inherently political. You only have to look at how opposing political parties respond to proposals. Back in the early 2000s, the LNP opposed densification in West End, with Margaret de Wit (LNP councillor for Pullenvale from 1997 to 2016, and then Opposition Leader) stating that she shared the residents’ concerns, and that “it would be a shame to have high-rise units along the river…”[iv] this is what makes Tim Quinn’s stance in the early 2000s more significant It would have been much more politically viable for him to oppose densification and prevent change rather than seeking to negotiate affordable housing outcomes with the State Government A suburbanisation of disadvantage has been realised And, of course, West End gentrified It is one of the most affluent areas of the city The creatives that gave West End its reputation can’t afford to live there – unless they bought a house in the 1990s Is inclusionary zoning the panacea we need Only an unprecedented public social infrastructure spend will resolve an unprecedented crisis [i] Smith W (2001) [ii] Southern News (2001) [iii] Smith [iv] Heywood [v] Passmore Cover image courtesy of Holland Park Townhouse Development Action Group Her research interests include how cities adapt their urban form to changing conditions such as rapid population growth or decline She has previously written for the Conversation Designed by Cosmos Media One family is selling their home to take advantage of what experts predict could be Brisbane’s biggest auction year yet Vendor Jade Dixon and her family lived at 61 Bonneville St for around ten years – but when they bought their new home at an auction they knew that was how they wanted to sell their old one “It’s really hard to put a price on your memories,” she said “We just thought it would be a great way to let the market decide what the property was worth.” Jade and Keith Dixon with their daughter at 61 Bonneville St The family plan to auction the home in the first full week of February PropTrack reports the final week of January is seeing 439 scheduled auctions marking a 71 per cent rise from this time last year Ray White Queensland alone had an 11 per cent increase in January 2025 compared to January 2024 showing 372 auctions scheduled across the month Place Estate Agents’ “The Summer Day” auction event is featuring more than 80 auctions on the first full week of the month Auctions have seen a big spike across January compared to this time last year Auctions saw a big rise across Brisbane after the Covid-19 pandemic Place New Farm agent Alex Rutherford said the arrival of buyers from Melbourne and Sydney “We did have a lot of interstate markets coming and buying that stage,” she said “[Auctions are] really transparent to the buyers as well as test the market and really discover what the price level is for that particular home” and the Dixons hope it will go to another family Agents anticipate auctions to only grow in popularity with rising demand and a potential interest rate drop Ms Rutherford said 2025’s big uptick of auctions would likely increase with thousands continuing to move into Brisbane amid the prospect of an interest rate drop obviously there will be a little bit more buyer confidence – it becomes a bit more affordable for a certain segment of the market,” she said because they’re not building as many high rise apartments … it’s just putting upwards pressure on all residential real estate.” Jade Dixon said she was excited to see families consider their home for multi-generational living with potential new owners wanting to help out their elderly parents Ms Dixon said she was happy to see the response her renovated home was getting during its auction campaign with families inspecting the home and considering its benefits as a dual living site “They were thinking of the [home] as an opportunity for their elderly parents to live on the bottom level,” she said Having bought the home from the family who built it Ms Dixon said she wanted to see the home go to another family at auction “I think that it gives everyone an opportunity to have an opportunity to put their hand in,” she said there are so many kids and families that also live in the area … I think it’s a great family home.” 61 Bonneville St goes to auction on February 8 third parties have written and supplied the content and we are not responsible for it completeness or reliability of the information nor do we accept any liability or responsibility arising in any way from omissions or errors contained in the content We do not recommend sponsored lenders or loan products and we cannot introduce you to sponsored lenders We strongly recommend that you obtain independent advice before you act on the content realestate.com.au is owned and operated by ASX-listed REA Group Ltd (REA:ASX) © REA Group Ltd.

One of those, 61 Dunrod Street, Holland Park West is a three-level residence on 835 square metres of land Mr Hodge brokered the deal for Dunrod Street and although he couldn’t disclose the exact sale price he confirmed it was the most expensive property sold in Holland Park West this year “There’s some extraordinary sales happening out in the suburbs – it’s not just in New Farm and Teneriffe,” Mr Hodge says “The house at Dunrod Street is proof that people with a lot of money to spend are seeing the value in going further out from the inner city.” Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja paid $2.75 million for a hilltop house at 70 Kneale Street, Holland Park West, last year, while former Lions skipper Michael Voss sold his Coorparoo home for $2,575,000 this year Buyers are realising the south-east corridor offers the same conveniences as the inner city “Somewhere like Holland Park or Holland Park West is close to Westfield Garden City it’s a 15-minute drive down the M1 to get to the city otherwise there’s easy access via the Busway to work it’s an easier trip to the coast than most inner-city suburbs and getting to the airport is easy too because the Clem-7 merges onto the Airport-Link – there’s no traffic lights getting there,” he says “This is why we’re seeing a huge transformation in the south-eastern corridor of Brisbane … Westfield Carindale “I think we’ll start to see other areas rise in popularity the same way Coorparoo/Camp Hill/Holland Park (West) are now and it’s the beginning of the ‘Sydney effect’ This part of Brisbane really offers so much and buyers are going for it.” Mr Hodge says he doesn’t expect demand to slow down anytime soon and admits it’s a difficult area to break in to setting themselves up for a fantastic lifestyle for them and their family,” he says “The whole idea that there are going to be ‘bargains’ or that things will get cheaper is wishful thinking especially when more people are moving to Australia or from interstate to Brisbane.” Mr Hicks describes Camp Hill’s growth as “pretty incredible” and says the suburb is going through a rejuvenation process. “What’s been happening here for a number of years is that old post-war homes are getting knocked down and two houses built in its place,” he says. “Those houses would then sell for around $1 million each.” “More recently though, those new houses are bigger and more luxurious – they’ve got five bedrooms, a media room, magnificent kitchens and the top-of-the-range everything. “So the developers are building bigger and better homes, which is attracting people with that kind of money to the area. Camp Hill is now a very affluent area and people with a lot of money are moving here.” Mr Hicks says while the roads in the south-east corridor are superior, the local schools are also a massive driver behind house prices. “In and around Coorparoo, Camp Hill, Holland Park, there’s a lot of very good schools, public and private, although a lot of the people here send their kids to private schools,” he says. “I would say a lot of my sales are driven by the desire for people to be close to any of these schools.” The information on this website is intended to be of a general nature only and doesn't consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. where we are privileged to live and operate You might recognise the faces behind the bar at Three Brews Bar and Kitchen When a shop space became available next door to popular cafe Deedot Coffee House co-owner Darian Brennan and manager Brad Edwards jumped at the opportunity to give Holland Park its own neighbourhood boozer Three Brews opened last week to little fanfare but within a couple of days the bar was filling up with locals “Obviously the area needed it,” Edwards says “We want to make this a Friday and Saturday night place for people.” Make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter today A modern design featuring terrazzo floors and a handsome copper back wall lends Three Brews an inner-city vibe but Edwards says the idea was to simply give a diverse bunch of locals somewhere fresh and new to congregate With its soft lighting and splashes of greenery unassuming place where a group of blokes chat over beers next to an older couple enjoying a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board The kitchen is being run by Deedot head chef Christopher Kelly who has created a suite of tapas-style share plates that includes blue-corn tacos A screen above the eight beers on tap displays how far each brewery is located from the venue highlighting Brennan and Edwards’s focus on local producers Wine has been curated in partnership with prominent vino writer Tyson Stelzer; it too leans towards Australian wineries with a clutch of European drops rounding out the list facebook.com/threebrewsbar Where Chefs Eat: Supernormal’s Jason Barratt Has Found a Top-Tier Peking Duck Spot Fill Up Before You Fly: Where To Eat and Drink in Brisbane Airport From Cuddly Koalas to Karaoke: Student-Friendly Hangouts in Brisbane Police are seeking public assistance to locate 32-year-old Anastasia van der Linde reported missing from Holland Part West today Anastasia was last seen this morning at a Monza Street address and has not been in contact with family since Her family and police have concerns for her welfare as the behaviour is out of character Investigators believe she may be travelling on foot in the area She was also last seen wearing sportswear/gym gear Police urge Anastasia or anyone with information regarding her location to contact police Report crime information anonymously via Crime Stoppers.

Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the four new pickleball courts would be delivered this financial year to cater for the sport’s growing popularity “We’re investing in these new suburban courts to provide more ways for residents of all ages to stay active and healthy,” Cr Schrinner said “Pickleball is a fun and fast-growing sport that is a cross between badminton and tennis with more than 6000 people already playing pickleball across Brisbane “The four new pickleball court locations to be delivered will take the number of courts delivered by Council since 2020 to 14 “By delivering more opportunities for free fun in our suburbs we’re making Brisbane an even better place to live.” Deputy Mayor and Holland Park Ward Councillor Krista Adams said her community were incredibly excited to have brand new pickleball courts in Holland Park West “This is a sport that can be played by residents of all ages and abilities and having convenient local courts if going to encourage even more people to give pickleball a go,” Cr Adams said “Ensuring our residents have free and low-cost opportunities to maintain good health and an active lifestyle will benefit everyone particularly as more people look for ways to have affordable fun “The courts at Joachim Street Park are the first dedicated public pickleball courts in Brisbane and residents can look forward to courts at four new locations being delivered in the next 12 months “With new locations coming to Brisbane’s north east and west residents right across Brisbane will be able to give this fast-growing sport a try.”

home at 9 Spa Street Holland Park West would be forgiven for thinking it had not long been built including a self-contained apartment on the lower-ground floor Vic and their two children in their early twenties have lived in the house for almost a decade Its everlasting appeal is mostly down to Fran who designed the home with the help of an architect after the family bought the corner block in 2010 “It wasn’t easy but the architect was great and allowed me to go back and forth and make so many changes,” Fran said One of the living rooms has a bespoke stone feature wall “Generally I knew what I wanted but it took 12 months to finish I don’t think there is anything I would change One of the rooms on which Fran was not prepared to compromise was the kitchen Both are topped with hard-wearing quartzite benchtops; the main island alone is made up of nine tonnes of quartz that had to be craned in The kitchen island is made up of nine tonnes of quartzite Fran said she loved to cook and the kitchen was where she and the family spent most of their time “A lot of tomatoes have been chopped on that island bench,” Fran laughed and suite of Smeg appliances including two ovens The back deck offers fabulous views of the city Elsewhere in the home are a number of living spaces including a pool room store rooms and an outdoor patio leading to the family’s infinity pool Ascend the central staircase and you will find the master bedroom with a generous walk-in wardrobe and ensuite spectacular views of the city and sunsets across the rooftops of neighbouring houses One thing that is definitely not lacking throughout this home is storage; Fran made certain of that “The down side of that it the joinery bill is through the roof,” she laughed two on the ground level and two on the middle level For the family of four it has proved a spacious home but its sheer size is part of the reason why the Pietrobons are now selling The home’s cinema room is one of several living spaces “It’s a very comfortable home and took a lot of time to get right,” Fran said “but there is also a lot of cleaning and we just don’t have time for that anymore.” I suspect it’s Fran’s fastidiousness that has kept the house in pristine condition all these years For an eight-year-old home it does look almost like new,” she said will Fran miss the home she has put so much work into “On the one hand I think I will be a bit sad it’s just too big for us now and I want to reclaim my weekends.” The house is open for inspection today at 10am The beautiful Kyoto Garden is an oasis of calm in the heart

The Fukushima Garden The garden was built “to commemorate the heartfelt gratitude of the Japanese people to the British people for their support following the natural disaster that struck Fukushima

buyer hotspots while others are long-standing blue chip havens favoured by the very wealthy This elevated character home at 18 Welbeck Street is listed with Ray White New Farm for $1.35 million North west of the CBD and nestled in between Ashgrove one of Brisbane’s older suburbs that boasts excellent transport links thanks to the local train station and a host of parks playgrounds and new amenities like shopping centres It’s about a 13-minute drive to the CBD outside of peak hour The highest house sale ever recorded in Alderley is for its most revered property a heritage-listed circa 1880s house at the top of the hill at David Street which changed hands in 2003 for $3.15 million many Alderley houses are character timber homes although the subdivision of large blocks is seeing more contemporary homes built in recent years It has a median house price of $800,000 after experiencing excellent growth over the past two years – over the last 12 months it’s grown by 6.3 per cent and last year it grew by 10.4 per cent Lucas Jeffries of McGrath Wilston sells a lot of property in Alderley and says the secret’s well and truly out buyers are expecting that capital growth,” he says “It’s a really cool suburb in the sense that there’s a real mix of buyers and I’d say there’s currently a big push from first home buyers and investors wanting to get into the next boom suburb … but entry level Alderley is snapped up immediately.” Mr Jeffries recently sold a house at 14 Denman Street Alderley “Young couples and families are attracted to the area and once they secure the location are happy to sit on these properties for a number of years knowing they can renovate or extend them years later,” he says Many of the original Queenslanders on large blocks have been subdivided so the suburb is now a mix of older character homes large contemporary houses and boutique townhouse developments is for sale With Ray White Ascot with an asking price of $4.45 million Ascot has long been lauded as the home of blue chip real estate in Brisbane With a median house price of $1.52 million it’s no entry-level starter suburb for most buyers – but one look at its wide tree-lined streets and the swathe of sprawling estates and it’s no wonder why this north eastern suburb is on so many wishlists Although its sale price is still shrouded in secrecy which would make it Ascot’s highest sale of 2017 Ascot is a favourite with white collar professionals, particularly doctors, politicians and lawyers but it’s also a tight-knit community where homes are held in the family for generations, local Ray White agent Damon Warat says “People buy these houses and live in them for a lifetime A lot of the people who have grown up in the area come back to the suburb with their own families,” he says “There’s no doubt there’s a lot of professionals and high disposable incomes here who aspire and work very hard to buy their home but it’s a very family orientated area where you can walk down Racecourse Road and know every second person Growth in Ascot has been extremely healthy over the past 12 months with the median price increasing by 12.6 per cent The cheapest house sold there this year so far went for a relatively paltry $593,000 It’s about a 15-minute drive to the CBD by car and there’s a local train station as well as buses Ascot also has easy access to the Gateway Bridge and airport via Kingsford Smith Drive Places at Ascot State School are hotly contested by parents who camp out overnight to secure a spot While Ascot is teaming with grand character houses, there are various smaller brick properties dotted throughout the suburb. However, they tend to get removed and replaced with new trophy homes, Mr Warat says. He cited a house at 44 Bennison Street, listed at late $2 millions which he believes is likely to get purchased and then bulldozed to make way for something brand new was completely redesigned during a renovation that saw it transformed from a modest post war residence to an architecturally-designed family home Carina sits just past one of Brisbane’s best-performing suburbs this year which has risen by a staggering 14.8 per cent over the past 12 months and recently overtook Coorparoo in median house price despite the fact it’s further from the city Camp Hill’s median house price is $916,000 they’re looking to the next suburb out: Carina Scott Hay of Place Coorparoo has just sold a renovated family home at Allambie Street across the road from local primary school St Martin’s and says two out of the four offers he received on the weekend were from buyers who had never considered Carina before “We get a real mix of buyers here – first home buyers young families and older people – but the most important thing is the perception from them that they’re getting a better house for their money,” he says “You can get a much larger house in Carina than you can in Camp Hill for the same money – and Camp Hill is literally two minutes away It’s a really well-serviced suburb with great access to the CBD.” And while neighbouring Camp Hill has grown by 14.8 per cent over the past 12 months Carina’s not on a train line but it’s well serviced by buses with nearby Westfield Carindale one of Brisbane’s biggest bus interchanges It takes 19 minutes by car to get to the CBD and is well serviced by local shops The original tram tracks still run down the centre of Old Cleveland Road denoting Carina’s history as an important suburban network While the majority of the homes are post war houses sections of Carina are home to modern brick homes and as the larger blocks get subdivided infill developments with new houses are becoming more common The new lower level kitchen and living area of 54 Allambie Street recently sold for $828,575 through Jerri Harrison-Taylor of Remax Holland Park West may not have a train station but it when it comes to buses The nearby southeast busway can have you in the city in 10 minutes but if you would prefer to drive it’s only 12 minutes by car on the freeway It’s also got easy access to the Gold Coast via the M1 as well as the northern suburbs via the Clem7 Holland Park West is a more affordable option than some of the other suburbs listed here which Price Finder data shows is a 2.0 per cent drop over the past 12 months Jerri Harrison-Taylor of Remax Executives says while the competition for entry level houses the real bargains are to be had outside of that price range “For families looking for that upgraded or second home over $800,000 that have brought equity with them “The difference between that $100,000 is often a bigger house It’s a price segment of the market where there’s less demand and I really feel that buyers with this sort of budget can get so much value here right now.” Holland Park West has a mix of early 20th century character homes and war-service homes ripe for renovation Ms Harrison-Taylor says the demographic of the suburb has undergone a massive shift in the past five years as a generation of lifetime elderly residents moved out “Five years ago when a lot of the elderly residents were moving out there was a lot more entry-level stock on the market but I’m finding that most of the young people who replaced them are not leaving,” she says the local community and the incredible access that Holland Park West has to everywhere in Brisbane they’re putting their money into extending their properties and staying long-term “I feel like Holland Park West is one of those suburbs that still has a lot of value left in it.” This four-bedroom home with a pool at 56 Brodie Street Holland Park West will go to auction on December 16 This large family home close to the Brisbane River at 49 Glencairn Avenue Indooroopilly is a happy mix of well-heeled families students from the nearby University of Queensland and everything in between excellent bus links from Westfield Indooroopilly and takes about 15 minutes to get to the CBD by car Price Finder data shows the median house price has fallen by 2.8 per cent over the past 12 months to $841,000 although local agents are quick to point out that certain pockets of Indooroopilly have had huge growth this year Schools are a major drawcard for people moving to Indooroopilly Home to some of Queensland’s best-performing primary and secondary schools Ironside State School and St Peter’s Lutheran College local agents say buyers will pay top dollar to snag a home within these catchments Alex Jordan of McGrath Paddington says the “Long Pocket” precinct in and around the river and Indooroopilly golf course, has a median value closer to $1.8 million. With a population of about 400 houses, he says it has its own micro market  driven mainly by buyers wanting to be close to St Peter’s. “A trend I have noticed is we’re getting a lot of Chinese buyers moving from Sunnybank or Stretton to this part of Indooroopilly so they can be close to the school,” he says. “I would say the main driver of the market are the schools. The majority of the buyers have a link to some form of education, whether it’s the schools or university. That’s why that one section of Indooroopilly – also known as the ‘Golden Triangle’ – is outperforming other parts of the suburb.” Whilst some of Indooroopilly’s real estate fronting the river or the golf course regularly fetches prices in the millions, there are also plenty of modest little post war homes and mid-century brick houses, as well as a healthy dose of units occupied mainly by students from nearby University of Queensland. The cheapest house sold this year so far was snapped up for $495,000. Happy mix: 10 Marston Avenue, Indooroopilly, for sale through McGrath Paddington, is located in the sought-after “Long Pocket” precinct.

The couple bought her childhood home from her parents “We have owned the house for five years,’’ she said We purchased the house off my parents so I grew up there “It has got a lot of history and a

time,’’ she said The outdoor area where the Ogden’s spend plenty of time “The downstairs area is a bit of a mancave as well which Chris made good use of.’’ The home is on the high side of the street

renovations on investment properties but this is my first new build,” he said “Although I did build our family home in Camp Hill.” Mr Wu said he wanted the Sunnybank house to be a modern build with unique features and have a focus on using all spaces He said Feng Shui was important consideration for Asian buyers Realestate.com.au notes that Feng Shui is all about the balance of energies with a focus on “positive energy” to ensure health and good fortune Mr Wu said another key design focus was ensuring that all four bedrooms had ensuites and that an open floor plan and high ceilings were featured thought the Sunnybank build He said he had already had “a fair bit of interest” from Asian buyers “I am now working on another project in Holland Park West but that’s being targeted at both western and Asian buyers,” he said “It will have some of the same design concepts but with more of a western feel.” The Sunnybank property is being marketed by Owen Chen and John Heng of Place Sunnybank A development application has been lodged for a Childcare Centre located 56 Abbotsleigh Street and 19 Melba Crescent Designed by Ferro Arch Architects the proposal is for a Child Care Centre with a maximum building height of 2 storeys (approximately 9.5m high) The site is within a low density residential zone and seeks to remove the existing residential buildings to facilitate the proposal The proposed childcare centre design seeks to represent two individual building elements that are reflective of the previous dwellings positioned on the site The proposed child care centre has been designed to suit the terrain and provides an under croft basement car park providing 20 car park spaces (one (1) PWD space) Vehicle access is proposed to Abbotsleigh Road with separate pedestrian access provided to via Melba Crescent in close proximity to the Abbotsleigh Street corner The planners at Urban Planning Services state “the architectural design of the proposed Child Care Centre has adopted a sympathetic approach to the character and scale of existing buildings within the surrounding locality having involved a thorough analysis of the local neighbourhood characteristics and the Hillside Character Precinct of the Holland Park – Tarragindi Neighbourhood Plan Code and the mixed built form character occurring within the Abbotsleigh Street locality The design outcomes result in a built form that fits comfortably within the street scene being reflective of the traditional Queenslander architectural character The form and appearance of the proposed Child Care Centre building complemented by high quality landscape design respects the prevailing local built environment characteristics and promises to deliver a visually pleasing addition to the

Photograph: Sebastian van Damme/OMAOMA is the practice founded by Rem Koolhaas and any project associated with him tends to come with a fluster of anticipation By these standards the arrival of Holland Green is relatively low-key partly because the big event on this site will be the opening of the museum in the autumn an interest in conflict and (sometimes) its resolution a certain playful waywardness – are lacking It is not that the raw materials are lacking The site is one of an encounter between the embers of postwar Keynesian public works transmuted from the old institute into the museum and the contemporary march of private property investment On the one hand an institution whose aim will be to attract as many of the public as possible on the other the buyers of flats who will generally want maximum seclusion from the said public preserved by order of English Heritage (now Historic England) is in a style for which few of the residents of the new flats will have an interest or liking in which blocks of workers’ housing came with communal facilities a type with which Koolhaas and OMA have long been fascinated but the opportunity has not arisen to give it the dramatic constructivist form it might have had in the 1920s as statements of conflict or extremity don’t sell well in the high-end residential market It is left to OMA to make smaller gestures eschewing the usual demand for maximising views out at every possible opportunity repetitive elevations are offset by corners eroded into stepped terraces or ground floor porticoes ‘An encounter between the embers of postwar Keynesian public works and the contemporary march of private property investment’: Holland Green and de Graaf wants to draw attention to other victories The old institute pavilion is set at 45 degrees to the street which is taken as a precedent for setting the new apartment blocks in the same orientation which allow city and park to infiltrate each other and create both an open space and pleasing change of rhythm on Kensington High Street Holland Green Photograph: Sebastian van DammeThe public is also admitted to some of the landscaped spaces especially those that will offer a route to the museum albeit managed by a strange ballet of security gates These exist to reassure buyers that they will be protected from sharing space with the masses but the museum will have the legal right to insist that they are open at certain times A quantum-mechanical degree of uncertainty between public and private and open and closed seems likely The outcome is one in which no one gets exactly what they want – not the buyers De Graaf describes the protracted struggle to protect original ideas from external pressures of planning and finance (“six weeks of creativity to design it and eight years of struggle”) before wryly commenting on the result – “as Rem said of another project it’s a building for a property developer so it’s best judged as sculpture” Holland Green achieves a degree of intelligence and public spirit almost unheard of in luxury residential developments This is the archive of The Observer up until 21/04/2025 The Observer is now owned and operated by Tortoise Media Allegations made in letter published by more than 100 former students of ‘outstanding’ Holland Park academy More than 100 former students at a troubled London academy have published an open letter to its governors, Ofsted and the government alleging a catalogue of serious failings in pastoral care and safeguarding of pupils, including “off-rolling” of some students and failure to act appropriately in peer-on-peer sexual assault and the withholding of staff questionnaires from school inspectors had been commissioned by the governing body Signatories to the ex-student letter most of whom are named and left the school in the past four years claim that they experienced a “toxic and abusive” environment in which some pupils’ emotional and psychiatric needs were neglected that difficult pupils were taken out of school during Ofsted inspections and that the school’s leadership encouraged excessive use of shouting as a form of discipline which left young people feeling “anxious and unsafe” They allege that young people were also publicly shamed and humiliated In one instance they say students’ photos were displayed on plasma screens around school to highlight their behavioural or academic failings A 25-page appendix including personal testimonies has been sent to the schools inspectorate and the Education and Skills Funding Agency who has been collecting signatures online and via social media said: “The toxic and often abusive environment characterised by teachers also existed for students This is an indictment of Holland Park’s leadership and governance as well as of the two Ofsted inspections that found safeguarding to be effective We are going public with our concerns now for the sake of the current student body.” which the Department for Education describes as removing a pupil from the school roll without a formal exclusion process or encouraging a parent to remove their child when the move benefits the school rather than the family describes his time at the school as “brutal” Following a mental health breakdown halfway through year 12 and despite a psychiatrist’s report stating that he should return to school he says the school called him and said he wasn’t allowed on the premises who says he was doing well academically and was an active member of the school community until his illness said: “I was scared to go back in case the school security barred my entry and I was worried it would unsettle my mental health again.” Obai Ermak re-started his studies at the Oasis South Bank Academy where he says teachers have nurtured his recovery Photograph: Andy Hall/The GuardianErmak alleges the school failed to provide him with any work for months until his mother threatened legal action after which the school funded a short period of private tuition which coincided with the first Covid lockdown the family say that Holland Park failed to attend any of Ermak’s reviews and it was suggested in a phone call that he find a new school “My parents and I tried but failed to contact the school countless times to further inquire about the situation and the plan for my return We felt we were being avoided as if we were ‘blacklisted’,” he said He was later accepted to re-start his studies at the Oasis South Bank Academy “They have been able to manage me even during moments of crisis I have never felt as if I was not part of their community I would probably be in an awful place now,” he said Ermak says he was never given a written reason why he was not allowed on Holland Park’s premises “I was technically excluded from school without being excluded I want to share my story so that other people do not go through the same thing.” The mother of another signatory to the letter agreed to speak to the Guardian anonymously about her daughter’s experience: “Following a period of ill health Amy (not her real name) was verbally told that she shouldn’t come to school because Holland Park did not have adequate safeguarding resources,” she said “The school failed to provide any work for her at home consistently failed to respond to our letters or attend meetings with her health team or contribute to her education and health care plan We went for months without any communication from the relevant staff When we eventually agreed that she could go to a hospital school temporarily Holland Park failed to engage in any discussion regarding her reintegration.” The parent has kept detailed notes of all her correspondence with the school She says the family was made to feel their concerns were imaginary or not serious Her daughter subsequently did her GCSEs at the hospital school while still on the roll at Holland Park completed a pre-university qualification independently and is starting in higher education this autumn “She is doing well now and to some extent has regained her confidence but I believe the school effectively excluded her by stealth to provide emotional support to students or investigate whether other students had been affected by sexual misconduct who last month announced an independent inquiry into the claims of a toxic working environment said: “The wellbeing of our pupils and staff is our foremost priority and we take these matters very seriously All safeguarding concerns should be raised with the designated safeguarding lead in the school and with the local authority designated officer.” On behalf of the governors and the headteacher she declined to respond in detail to the students’ allegations who has also asked for her identity to be withheld claims that when she raised a serious safeguarding concern about peer-on-peer sexual abuse the school failed to deal appropriately with her case Rachel (not her real name) was 15 when she reported a three-month period of daily sexual assaults that she had suffered a year earlier I had developed severe anxieties and depression and had experienced self-harm and suicidal thoughts so dangerous that I had been admitted to A&E the day before I came forward to the school,” she said no meeting took place between my parents and I and the school we were then informed that the abuser would be removed from my class but when I returned to school the next day “I was then told to sit alone in the library for all of the lessons that I had with the perpetrator.” This amounted to 60% of her time in school I had to enter my class with my abuser sitting there at every lesson to take my course work “There was also no additional help with my mental health which declined rapidly during this traumatic process An environment of guilt and shame was perpetuated rather than taking a victim-centred approach.” Eventually the school decided it would remain “neutral” about whether the abuse took place and implemented what the girl describes as a “twisted” solution that involved switching several children between classes to return her to her original timetable “The school did not ensure confidentiality and I was explicitly blamed for the change by students Despite my parents expressing anger and frustration about how I had been treated we felt we were being ignored and I had to make the decision to leave the school to protect myself The headteacher’s failure to ensure his school responded to my circumstances appropriately and quickly inflicted severe trauma that continues to stay with me.” and protected from bullying or harassment as a result of coming forward The school’s governors have said students will be able to give evidence to the inquiry already announced into the working culture at the school But the authors of the ex-students’ letter are asking for their own inquiry said: “Holland Park school created a culture of fear wherein some students who finished their education several years ago are still afraid to speak out about the mistreatment they experienced We urge the governors to respect these students’ bravery by organising a parallel independent external inquiry into the student experience.” Holland Park street retains its crown as Britain's most expensive Homes & Property | Luxury The average price of a home in Britain’s most expensive street has risen to £17.2
