Guy Holloway is the co-founder and former headmaster of Hampton Court House, an independent co-educational school in West London. He read English at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he spent three years working with children in local authority care through Save the Children. He then lived in Paris, working in public relations before 'falling into' teaching. Guy began his career at Ecole Active Bilingue, where he taught O-level and A-level English. He was part of the founding team of the Harrodian School in 1993 and co-founded Hampton Court House in 2001. An advocate for bilingual education and cultural immersion, Guy is known for exposing his pupils to the fullest range of music, art, and literature. He has written widely on education, served as a 'leading thinker' with the National Education Trust (2013-2018), and lectured on educational leadership at the Institute of Education (2014-2018). A regular media commentator, Guy has appeared on Sky News, BBC, ITV, and numerous radio programmes to discuss educational reform, particularly his campaign for later school start times for teenagers, supported by Oxford University's Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute. He is also a patron, alongside Sir Anthony Seldon, of Their Future Today, a charity supporting and educating abandoned children in Sri Lanka. Guy lives in London, continues to write for School Management Plus and other journals, and runs a China-UK education business with his wife Jasmine.
