The best start

Welcome to Lockers Park

Welcome to Lockers Park, a purposefully small independent boarding and day school for boys aged 4-13, situated on 23 acres of land in Hertfordshire.

 

Established in 1874, we are proud to have recently entered into a partnership with Harrow School. This marks a new chapter in the life of Lockers Park which will continue to prepare boys for Harrow and other leading UK senior schools.

 

Lockers Park boys are known for achieving their academic potential, for their confidence, kindness and sense of fun. Read our headmaster’s welcome here.

our partnership

Harrow School and Lockers Park School have entered into a partnership that offers prospective parents the reassurance of two highly respected schools working closely together while each retains its own distinct identity. Building on a relationship that spans 150 years, the schools share a values-driven ethos centred on high academic standards, character development and a holistic approach to boys’ education.

Excellent results

Lockers Park offers a dynamic and supportive learning environment where boys are taught in small classes, allowing for personalised attention and strong academic growth. The school combines a wide range of engaging activities, such as outdoor learning, arts, debating, and enrichment programmes with a strong emphasis on metacognition, helping pupils develop the skills to learn effectively from an early age.

Teaching is tailored to each child’s needs, using varied techniques to keep boys motivated and confident, while progress is closely monitored and communicated with parents.

Purposefully small classes

We believe that smaller class sizes provide increased individual attention, allowing our teachers to offer more personalised support while also improving academic performance. These benefits last beyond the prep school years. They enhance engagement and participation, and reduce behavioural issues so that teachers can focus more on instruction.

Our smaller class sizes foster strong teacher-student relationships that support both academic success and emotional development.

Enthusiasm for life

We are committed to educating the whole child through a rich programme of activities that extends far beyond the classroom.

Alongside a strong academic curriculum, boys benefit from daily sport as well as opportunities in drama and music that support creativity, confidence and wellbeing.

Our extensive programme of activities that take place before, during and after school, offers something for everyone, from art, chess and cookery to debating, coding and a wide range of sports. This combines with a nurturing boarding environment that benefits day pupils too.

All Lockers Park boys grow with confidence, kindness and sense of fun.
