We are delighted to share that Lockers Park School has been commended in the Independent Boys’ School of the Year category in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2026.
With a record number of entries submitted from independent schools across the UK and beyond, this recognition is a tremendous achievement and reflects the dedication, passion and expertise of our entire school community.
The Independent Schools of the Year Awards celebrate excellence across every aspect of independent education, recognising schools that are transforming young lives through exceptional teaching, outstanding pastoral care, innovative learning and enriching opportunities beyond the classroom. More than simply rewarding academic success, the awards shine a spotlight on schools that inspire curiosity, nurture character and prepare young people to thrive in an ever-changing world.
At Lockers Park, we believe that boys flourish when they are known, challenged and encouraged to become the very best version of themselves. From academic ambition and outdoor learning to sport, music, drama, boarding and leadership, every aspect of school life is carefully designed to help boys grow in confidence, resilience and character.
Being commended in this prestigious national competition is recognition of that shared vision and of the remarkable efforts of our staff, pupils, parents, governors and wider community. It celebrates not only what our boys achieve, but how they achieve it: with enthusiasm, kindness, courage and a genuine love of learning.
As the awards process continues, with finalists announced in September and winners revealed in October, we are immensely proud that Lockers Park has been recognised alongside some of the country’s leading independent schools.
This commendation is a celebration of everything that makes Lockers Park such a special place and reinforces our commitment to providing every boy with the very best start in life.
