Hertfordshire independent schools

Families have a very wide-range of options for private education in Hertfordshire. At the primary or prep level, there are schools such as Aldwickbury, Beechwood Park, Edge Grove and Heath Mount for boys and girls, starting in the early years and moving to secondary school at 11 or 13 years.

At the secondary or senior stage, there are plenty of local options such as Berkhamsted, Bishop's Stortford College, Haileybury and St Edmund's College. Some of these senior schools also have their own primary or prep school, potentially enabling a pupil to stay at the same school for their whole educational journey. And if you are considering boarding – either now or in the future – many of the featured schools below offer weekly and flexi-boarding options.
