Harrow School and Lockers Park School, a boys’ day and boarding prep school in Hertfordshire, announced today they have agreed to enter into a new partnership which will see Lockers Park School formally join the Harrow family during the course of this Spring term.
Harrow School and Lockers Park School have enjoyed strong links and a close working relationship over the 150 years of Lockers Park School’s history. The two schools share a values-driven culture and ethos founded on high academic standards, character development and the holistic education of boys. This partnership represents a natural next step, strengthening collaboration and coordination between the schools to support pupils, parents, staff and their wider school communities.
Both Harrow School and Lockers Park School will each maintain their separate and distinctive identities, building on the strengths, traditions and heritage of each school. Lockers Park School will continue to operate as it does today, remaining on its existing site in Hemel Hempstead and retaining its name, uniform and distinctive ethos.
This partnership will bring a range of benefits to pupils and staff across both schools including the sharing of educational, academic and pastoral expertise, the bringing together of the best of their respective co-curriculum offers, and the development of opportunities for boys to thrive throughout their academic career and beyond.
Both Harrow School and Lockers Park School will continue to work with a broader community and network of schools. Lockers Park School will continue to support and guide parents and pupils in moving on to the senior school which will be most suitable given their wishes and the academic setting. Harrow School will continue to apply the same admissions process for all boys wishing to attend Harrow and will continue to work closely with pupils, parents and all prep school partners in supporting this process and welcoming boys from all of their traditional prep school partners.
The respective boards of governors of both Harrow School and Lockers Park School have approved this new partnership which is expected to complete in the Spring term of 2026. Upon completion, Lockers Park will formally join the Harrow family.
