Looking for an outstanding Prep School for your son or daughter?
Aldwickbury School in Harpenden is a leading Pre-Prep and Prep School for children aged 4-13. Named the UK’s ‘Independent Boys’ School of the Year’ in 2024, the school is now entering an exciting new chapter—welcoming girls into the Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) from this September!
With families of girls having confirmed their offers, co-education at Aldwickbury is gaining real momentum. Girls will begin their journey in the Pre-Prep and progress through the school year by year.
Aldwickbury focusses on providing a holistic education that fosters academic success, where children are encouraged to embrace challenge, be themselves and most importantly, to be kind.
Part of the school’s holistic approach is their Future Thinking Curriculum which equips children with essential skills including leadership, communication and AI—ensuring they are ready for the future.
Limited spaces are available for this September, and applications are open for 2026 entry.
Book a private visit or sign up to their next Open Morning on Thursday 15th May. Alternatively, please contact their Admissions team via email at [email protected] or call on 01582 713022.
The Herts Card is designed to give discounts to children and young people for lots of activities and days out that they might not be able to access otherwise.
Families whose young people get free school meals can get the Herts Card, and families of children and young people with SEND can also get a Herts Card via the Herts County Council Local Offer.
For full details of how to get a card and where it can be used, visit the Herts County Council website.
