Why Berkhamsted?
Value added is the name of the game: most enter the nursery at national standard, but by year 6 the vast majority are well beyond it, with many of them significantly above.
Pupils develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and resilience to a mature level, encouraged by the school’s focus on perseverance.

Watching our talented children perform in our Spring Concert was joyful!
The array of performances was incredible. The development of musical skills amazing.
Best of all was seeing their smiles as they finished performing, giving a real sense of how much they enjoy their moment and their growing confidence.

A cracking Mortain Easter hunt this morning in support of @chilternarts raining a total of £346. Very eggcited children hunted the Easter chickens to answer music themed questions ably supported by our house leaders. An eggcellent example of our children serving others, working collaboratively and having fun.
