Aldenham School, Elstree, Hertfordshire

‘Old tradition’ mixed with the best modern facilities

Aldenham School was founded more than 400 years ago and stands on its original site in more than 110 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside just to the north west of London. Queen Elizabeth 1 gave permission for the school to be built and the Foundation Stone was laid in 1597.

At this school ‘old tradition’ is mixed with the best modern facilities. There is easy access to all London’s major airports, to the motorway network and to central London itself.
