About Edge Grove School

Dear Applicant,

We'd love you to consider joining Edge Grove School, our leading Independent Coeducational Preparatory School for children aged 3–13, is set within 48 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside on the edge of North London. Just over a mile away from Radlett, an affluent Hertfordshire village offering a high quality of life, blending tranquil semi-rural living with excellent commuter access to London, known for its grand homes, strong community, sports clubs, diverse dining, good schools, and convenient transport links (Thameslink, M1/M25). The quaint villages of Aldenham (public footpath from our site) and Letchmore Heath are also in close proximity. Some staff enjoy accommodation on site (and the local pub, the Round Bush, offsite!) there is plenty of parking for staff, great lunches and refreshments available during term time all provided at no cost to you.

Outside, pupils have access to two adventure playgrounds, an outdoor swimming pool, our Walled Garden Astro (used for for hockey, tennis, handball, cricket and netball), ten rugby pitches, five cricket pitches, our Forest School and woodland area and lake.

Within the School buildings, pupils benefit from two science laboratories, a food technology kitchen, theatre with tiered seating, huge sports hall, colourful art studio, D&T workshop, music classroom, six peripatetic music teaching rooms, IT Classroom, an oak panelled Library, Learning Support Centre in our 'Chapel', Health Centre staffed by our School Nurses, Dining Hall with an in-house catering team – oh, and plenty of classrooms too! Edge Grove is a bustling hive of creative energy; whilst in truth, creativity happens everywhere in school, this is never more apparent than in our Performing Arts Faculty – and there are plenty of spaces at our school where your child will be able to unleash their creative side.

Our Performing Arts facilities include a theatre with tiered seating for 120 for performances and productions, and a Music block with music classroom (with plenty of instruments to inspire our budding musicians) and individual practice rooms for lessons with peripatetic teachers.

At Edge Grove, we believe that learning should excite, challenge and empower every child. Our holistic approach combines outstanding teaching, exceptional pastoral care and a rich co-curricular programme designed to help pupils discover their passions and reach their full potential. Our  pupils feel healthy, safe, happy and proud to contribute uniquely to the Edge Grove community. They enjoy friendship and fun, promote kindness, and live and grow in alignment with their self-elected core values allowing them to develop Integrity, Independence and Inspiration.
