Aldwickbury School Aldwickbury School is an independent Pre-Prep and Prep School for boys aged 4-13 located on the outskirts of Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The breadth of opportunities on offer at Aldwickbury is something we are incredibly proud of. The boys are challenged and engaged academically but also benefit from a wide-ranging co-curricular programme making full use of our extensive grounds and facilities. The school offers boys of all abilities a myriad of exciting opportunities to develop their confidence and unearth their talents in the arts, STEM, on stage, in music and on the sports field. The journey through the school prepares the boys to leave at 13 when we believe they are truly ready for senior school education.

Your child will progress at the pace that is unique and perfect for them. In a patient, kind and nurturing environment, children learn to take responsibility for their growth, both academic and emotional. Through everyday activities, children learn coordination and dexterity, how to take care of themselves and their environment, and how to interact with others. As they dress, clean, ask for help, and participate in the classroom, they develop selfesteem and independence. 77 Holywell Hill, St Albans AL1 1HF. 020 3904 7493 www.fountainmontessori.com/
