Lockers Park – Be Anything, Achieve Everything
Lockers Park is a high achieving and vibrant preparatory school that has been educating boys to the highest standard for more than 150 years. The school is purposefully small, so that their pupils achieve excellent results alongside an enthusiasm for life.
A day and boarding school for boys aged 4–13, Lockers Park blends a traditional prep school environment with a progressive, forward-thinking approach. Nestled in 23 acres of beautiful woodland in Boxmoor, the school is ideally situated in the heart of Hertfordshire, a 30 minute train journey from London and key airports.
Purposefully Small
Lockers Park is purposefully small, with class sizes of maximum 16 pupils, averaging 13. This allows teachers to know every pupil and their parents well, creating opportunity to get the very best out of every boy.
Excellent Results
Lockers Park enjoys a consistently strong record of academic success. It holds an enviable reputation for sending boys to leading senior schools such as Harrow, Eton, St Albans, Berkhamsted and Stowe, with a notable range of scholarships and exhibitions won each year. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers and personalised support, pupils are encouraged to become independent thinkers. The curriculum is carefully structured to help boys grow socially, culturally and emotionally, equipping them to participate confidently in discussion and debate. The Tatler Good Schools Guide observes: "Lockers Park is a school that continues to impress."
Enthusiasm for Life
Pupils are encouraged to develop a suite of other interests and skills alongside their academic studies. From sport and music to drama and art, pupils are encouraged to try their hand at all kinds of exciting activities.
The school's inclusive 'sport for all' approach encourages all boys to develop their own sporting passions, whatever their ability. Pupils enjoy structured sport every day and very much see it as an opportunity to let off steam outside and have fun with friends. The school knows that playing sport is key to helping build confidence, self-esteem and team spirit and importantly, boosting wellbeing.
Music is widely recognised as outstanding at Lockers Park. Over 85% of pupils learn a musical instrument, with many learning two or three. A thriving String Orchestra and Chapel Choir are just some of the options on offer to pupils.
Superb Pastoral Care
A highly-regarded team of staff work to ensure pupils are happy and well-motivated. A warm, family orientated and inclusive approach gives the care, comfort and support that is vital for the boys' well-being and success.
Lockers Park is proud of its boarding heritage and believes the opportunities boarding offers to pupils are plentiful, particularly with the shifting dynamics of modern family life. Learning to live away from home teaches boys resilience and independence, a spirit of tolerance and an understanding of others.
We are proud to share that 82% of pupils board at least once within their first term – a powerful testament to the welcoming, engaging environment they have created. Feedback from parents has been overwhelmingly positive, with heartfelt testimonials highlighting how much pupils and their families value the boarding experience.
As we look to the future, boarding at Lockers Park will continue to evolve. With a commitment to innovation and a deep understanding of the modern child, our Boarding House is not only keeping pace with the times – it is setting the standard for what boarding in the modern world can and should be.
New parents are invited to visit the school for a personal tour with the Headmaster, or to attend one of the school's regular Open Mornings.
