Our new Year 6s were buzzing with excitement at the prospect of the new academic year.
They`re looking forward to their new roles as leaders of the Prep School as well as the school play and annual residential trip to Skern Lodge.
The slides and climbing equipment in our new landscaped play area are already proving to be very popular with children.

✨We`re finalists in two categories of the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2023:
• Independent Pre-Prep School of the Year
• Independent School of the Year for Student Careers Programme
The annual awards are designed to celebrate the extraordinary student experience offered by independent schools across the country and we are delighted that our school’s commitment to developing remarkable people has been recognised.
Our nomination for the Independent School of the Year’s Student Careers Programme reflects our well-established and comprehensive Careers offering, which enables students to build self-awareness, gain employability skills and undertake career exploration. This is underpinned by pastoral systems, which focus on supporting all students on an individual basis with advice and guidance as they progress through the school.
Our Pre-Prep school’s nomination is also well-merited. Despite educating the youngest of our pupil cohort, Berkhamsted Pre-Prep is devoted to holistic pupil development.
From encouraging pupils to become school councillors as early as Year 2 to incorporating guided outdoor play into our curriculum, we are thrilled that Berkhamsted is being recognised for its commitment to instilling a sense of adventure and integrity into our youngest pupils whilst keeping a child’s emotional and social development central to it all.
A big thank you to all our staff, pupils and parents who help to make our school remarkable!
Congratulations to the other finalist schools – we look forward to the awards evening on Tuesday 10 October to find out the winners.
