Our Move to Co-Education

In 2024, Aldwickbury School announced its exciting move to co-education. In September 2025, we welcomed our first girls into the Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2), marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the school.

We are proud to be offering girls the same exceptional level of education and opportunities that Aldwickbury boys have enjoyed for generations.

From September 2026, girls will be able to join Year 3 as well as the Pre-Prep. Each year, our co-educational offering will grow, with the school becoming fully co-educational by September 2031.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore your independent prep school in Hertfordshire options or ready to take the next step, our Admissions Team is here to help. Please email admissions@aldwickbury.org.uk and we’ll be delighted to guide you through the admissions process and share more about our move to co-education.

Our values of community and kindness have been key to the prep school’s recent successes, and they will remain at the heart of our move towards co-education. The school is fully committed to a ‘one team’ approach with all staff playing a key role in the children’s development and key to this is working in partnership with parents. The school’s strong values and forward-thinking approach to education are focused on nurturing happy, confident pupils who are both challenged and stimulated to succeed in an ever-changing world.
