WELCOME TO VERULAM SCHOOL

Verulam School is a modern, forward-thinking 11-18 all boys’ secondary school, with a co-educational sixth form based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Opened originally in 1938 as St Albans Boys’ Modern School, we became Verulam School in 1975.

As a smaller than average secondary school, we provide a close, family atmosphere that allows students to gain confidence and forge new friendships quickly. In addition, we are able to ensure that all of our students are known, feel valued and are supported.

Our school motto ‘Faire Mon Devoir’ translates from French to “Do my duty.” Part of the Verulam experience sees our students encouraged and supported to fulfil their duty or obligation to be true to themselves, to love themselves, make positive contributions, to learn and grow, be happy and grateful and to contribute to something bigger than themselves.

At Verulam we hold the core values of Excellence, Character and Respect. We believe that learning to embrace these values will help our students lead a meaningful, fulfilling life beyond school and will provide them with clarity regarding what is expected inside and outside the school environment.

We are a member of the Ambition Education Trust, a Trust where each school makes a powerful contribution to the on-going progress across the Trust, and we enjoy working in partnership and learning constantly from each other. Working collaboratively, we remain focused on continuously improving to provide both rewarding careers for our employees’, and amazing experiences for the young people in our care.
