Arnold House School is a preparatory school for boys in the St John's Wood district of Westminster, Greater London.[1] It consists of a Junior School (Years 1–4) and Senior School (Years 5–8).

History

[edit]

Arnold House School was founded in 1905 by Miss Hanson with nine pupils. Hanson opened the school with the intention of showing that a headmistress was equally capable of preparing boys for public schools. By the time she stepped down as Headmistress, the school was flourishing. It became a charitable trust in 1969.[2]

'Conquer We Shall'

In celebration of the school's centenary in 2005, it applied for and was granted a coat of arms by the College of Arms. The school motto, "Conquer We Shall", is derived from a poem by Robert Herrick:

Conquer we shall, but first we must contend,
'Tis not the strife that crowns us, but the end.

— Robert Herrick[3]
