LANCE HOLT SCHOOL is eyeing off property in the West End with hopes of expanding.

With parents squeezing their faces against the windows desperate to enrol their kids, the jam-packed Henry Street alternative school is looking to move its kindy to a new site.

Principal Kathryn Netherwood says the 40-year-old school faces growing enrolment demand for places from kindy to year three.

“Lance Holt has developed a vision for the future to ensure our on-going sustainability as an innovative independent school,” she told the Herald. “We are in the early stages of seeking an additional building in the West End to expand our early years program.”

She acknowledges concern from some parents that splitting the school across two campuses could harm its community village feel but says, “what is most important to our families is to maintain the school values and culture and the high quality educational programs for our students”.
