Working together
Our pupils’ happiness, success and wellbeing is enhanced through a strong relationships between home and school.
Strong lines of communication between home and school will enable our pupils to feel wholly supported through any challenges or disappointments they may face through their school years. This care, guidance and support allows them to grow into resilient, independent and confident young adults.

Good to talk
At Berkhamsted we offer parents a number of opportunities to come to school to hear from a range of experts, including our own School Clinical Psychologist and Director of AI. Our talks and dinners cater for parents of every age and stage and cover an array of topics from Friendships, Raising Resilient Women, Positive Masculinity and Careers of the Future.
These events strengthen the communication between home and school, and give parents and staff a common understanding and framework for supporting our young people. It also provides parents with an opportunity to discuss their own experiences in helping children navigate the issues facing young people in today’s world – issues which can occur in school or at home.
The Friends
All parents whose children are pupils at the School are automatically members of The Friends. The Friends’ key aims are to provide opportunities for parents to meet socially and to raise funding for items of equipment or resources for the benefit of the pupils’ education at Berkhamsted, which could not otherwise be purchased.
The Friends help to build a community across the family of Berkhamsted Schools, and their events such as the Michaelmas Fair and Proms in the Quad are major highlights in the school calendar.
Ambitious go-getters who are always looking for ways to make themselves stand out from the crowd, and want to get the absolute utmost from the education and opportunities available to them.
Pupils show pronounced and highly effective study skills, appropriate to their age. Strong research skills are evident in many examples of project work, and older pupils, in particular, show excellent ability to assimilate and analyse a wide range of sources.
