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.[2]
Lockers Park was founded in 1872 by Henry Montagu Draper,[3] an old boy of Rugby School.[4] It moved to purpose-built buildings and sports fields in 1874 in 23 acres (93,000 m2) of the parkland which surrounds a Georgian country house called Lockers or The Lockers,[5] 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.[6]
In the 1940s and 1950s, the veteran England all-round cricketer Frank Woolley (1887–1978) was the school's cricket coach.[7]
