Looking for an outstanding Prep School for your son or daughter?
Aldwickbury School in Harpenden is a leading Pre-Prep and Prep School for children aged 4-13. Named the UK’s ‘Independent Boys’ School of the Year’ in 2024, the school is now entering an exciting new chapter—welcoming girls into the Pre-Prep (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) from this September!
With families of girls having confirmed their offers, co-education at Aldwickbury is gaining real momentum. Girls will begin their journey in the Pre-Prep and progress through the school year by year.
Aldwickbury focusses on providing a holistic education that fosters academic success, where children are encouraged to embrace challenge, be themselves and most importantly, to be kind.
Part of the school’s holistic approach is their Future Thinking Curriculum which equips children with essential skills including leadership, communication and AI—ensuring they are ready for the future.
Limited spaces are available for this September, and applications are open for 2026 entry.
Book a private visit or sign up to their next Open Morning on Thursday 15th May. Alternatively, please contact their Admissions team via email at [email protected] or call on 01582 713022.

Are you looking for the mythical village we’re all promised in motherhood? Is maternity leave feeling a little lonely? Have you moved to the area and want to find your people? Or do you just want to let someone else be mum so you can enjoy feeling like you again for a couple of hours?
The Mum Club St Albans runs mum focussed events for YOU in Harpenden. Think monthly Brunch Clubs to relax and connect with likeminded mums over a proper meal, Coffee Clubs with experts to fill your own cup and Fitness Clubs to help you find your balance.
Run by local mum of two Nicole, “ I want to help you find your very own mum-made village, a club where you get to feel like you again – let me be mum. We don’t judge if baby cries or crawls, spits up or squeals with delight – we’re all in this together.”
"The Mum Club is here for you, whatever stage of motherhood you're at – whether you come alone, with a pal, with bump, baby or when they’re at nursery – all mums are welcome."
Upcoming events include TMC’s trademark Brunch Clubs on 22nd May, a Coffee Club with local luxury salon Matilda May on 7th May – all running 10am-12pm at The George and so much more to come. There’s also epic events in St Albans and Berko too.
Throw in goodie bags, pop ups, photography, delicious bakes, a play area, childcare and more – don’t miss out!
