Lockers Park School is a day and boarding preparatory and pre-preparatory school for boys, situated in 23 acres of countryside in Boxmoor, Hertfordshire. Its headmaster is Gavin Taylor.

History

Lockers Park was founded in 1872 by Henry Montagu Draper, an old boy of Rugby School. It moved to purpose-built buildings and sports fields in 1874 in 23 acres (93,000 m) of the parkland which surrounds a Georgian country house called Lockers or The Lockers, which was once the home of Ebenezer John Collett. The new school was designed by Sidney Scott and has its own chapel which dates from the same era.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the veteran England all-round cricketer Frank Woolley (1887–1978) was the school's cricket coach.
