We are delighted to see Lockers Park and Harrow School both featured in the latest Tatler Good Schools Guide, with profiles that celebrate the individual character of each school and the partnership that now connects Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire with Harrow on the Hill.
For those who know Lockers Park well, Tatler’s description will feel wonderfully familiar. Set within our beautiful 23-acre campus, Lockers Park boys are, in Tatler’s words, “very much encouraged to be boys” – getting their knees dirty, building camps and making the most of the space and freedom that are such an important part of growing up here.
There is a lovely sense of the breadth of school life too. Alongside the academic day, Tatler picks out everything from “Strictly Lockers and Lockers Got Talent” to a sporting programme that “goes beyond the ones you would expect”. It is a snapshot of a school where boys are encouraged to get involved, discover new interests and, importantly, enjoy themselves along the way.
The profile also reflects an exciting new chapter for Lockers Park, highlighting “the formalisation of a long-term relationship with Harrow, whose ‘family’ it has now joined.”
Perhaps most importantly, Tatler captures what sits at the heart of this partnership:
“Lockers Park will remain purposefully small and values-led, it will share in Harrow’s educational, academic and pastoral expertise.”
That balance matters to us. Our values-led ethos, close-knit community and commitment to knowing every boy as an individual remain central to life at Lockers Park. The partnership gives us an exciting opportunity to build on these foundations, sharing expertise and creating new opportunities for our boys while retaining everything families value about the school.
Shared values, exciting possibilities
Tatler’s profile of Harrow School strikes a similar balance between a proud heritage and an ambitious outlook. From its historic home at Harrow on the Hill, Harrow may “feel steeped in history, but life here is far from static.”
The article highlights Harrow’s “forward-looking Mission 2030 strategy, balancing academic excellence and pastoral care, and embracing new partnerships”, with Lockers Park specifically recognised as part of this vision.
Both schools have their own character, traditions and sense of community, but share a belief in academic excellence, strong pastoral care and an education shaped by values.
From our 23 acres in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, to Harrow’s historic home on Harrow on the Hill, this is a partnership with much to look forward to in 2027 and beyond.
