What is Berkhamsted School like?

Berkhamstead is a through school form 3-18 just north of London. Students study all together up until the age of 11, before splitting into Boys and Girls to study up until Sixth Form.  This diamond school structure is really seen as a true strength. While students are taught separately, they share academic trips and visits and co-curricular activities, maintaining an appropriate level of social contact that means it is possible to develop friendships with their peers across the Senior School.

The school is large and situated very much in the heart of Berkhamsted. It was founded in 1541 by John Incent, who was Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral and the school maintains its Christian foundation.
