Becoming a Lockers Park Boy

Academic success

Our boys learn in small classes with plenty of individual attention. The varied nature of learning at Lockers Park includes inspiring lessons, refreshers and broader studies at Saturday School, outdoor learning and a host of meaningful and enjoyable activities such as debating, drama, music, chess, maths for fun, science week, book week and art extension projects.

We focus on metacognition – learning to learn – which boys begin to engage with from Year 3. This approach is combined with support to improve in all areas where boys are capable of more and is managed with sensitivity to suit each individual child.

Results are evident in the senior school places and scholarships offered to Lockers Park boys – and the success that all our boys achieve in reaching their potential.

“We have been so impressed with Lockers Park; it is a truly amazing school. All the boys are happy, content and encouraged to be the best version on themselves”

“The school feels intimate and the average class size is 12-16, so no question here of the staff and Head being hardwired into the needs and strengths of each pupil.”

“Everything about the school is focused on bringing out the best in boys – from the 40-minute morning break where they can tear around fields and woodlands with just enough time for a bit of den-building, to the pristine well-structured classrooms.”

“Newer additions – including critical thinking, ethics, entrepreneurship and a focus on the arts – prepare the boys for success in the modern world (and helped 20 per cent bag scholarships last year). Day boys gladly stay late to enjoy myriad activities and supper with friends, while parents rejoice at the wraparound care – which is included in the fees.”
