Lockers Park has a long and
distinguished history. It was founded in 1874 by Henry Montagu
Draper to be a foundation school preparing boys for Rugby School,
and is thus one of the earliest purpose-built preparatory schools in
England.
It is built on the parkland of a significant Georgian house, called
The Lockers, which still exists, now divided into apartments. Henry
Draper took the opportunity to buy the 23 acres of parkland when the
owner of The Lockers fell on hard times, and built a school with
facilities to house the sons of gentlefolk who intended their sons
for Rugby. He was guided in his choice of location by the proximity
of the site to Boxmoor (now Hemel Hempstead) station, and its
situation on the route from London to Rugby.
In the following years Lockers Park school established itself as one
of a handful of high-quality preparatory schools, sending boys to
Eton, Harrow and Winchester as well as Rugby and the nearer schools
of Stowe and Haileybury. This is a tradition we are proud to
maintain. Its list of distinguished old boys is long, most notably
Lord Louis Mountbatten and His Highness Prince Maurice Battenberg –
but it also has the less proud boast to have educated Guy Burgess,
the infamous Russian spy.
Many traditions from the days of Draper still continue, maintained
within the fully-updated buildings and alongside the modern and
vibrant curriculum. Tuck and sweets (which Draper did his best to
discourage parents from supplying to boys on exeats!) are still
known as ‘slatter’, after Mr Slatter who owned a sweet shop in
Boxmoor; boys have ‘Sets’ rather than houses, the names being those
of famous army and navy captains, Beatty, Haig, Jellicoe, Kitchener,
Mountbatten and Roberts; and the forward-thinking system of effort
grades, emphasizing attitude and application as the most important
elements of education, is the same today as that instituted by the
earliest Headmaster.
Lockers Park has a long history of educating boys to the highest
standards and of preparing them for the foremost Senior Schools in
the land. Why not come and see for yourself? |
