About the school

The school’s beautiful rural location boasts 26 acres of parkland overlooking the Bourne valley. Located just off the A41, between Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, Westbrook Hay has easy access to all major routes.

Our unique setting offers a secure environment within which children explore and enjoy all that childhood has to offer. Through visionary teaching in small classes and with a wonderful mixture of purpose built facilities and historic surroundings, our children enjoy a broad curriculum, achieve excellent results and have the all-important confidence to succeed.

We know that our childhood is a most precious time. Here, at Westbrook Hay, we want it to be the best time of your children’s lives.  So, what is the best?  We believe that it is one filled with happiness, rich and varied experiences, in an ambitious, yet nurturing environment. This is what we strive to provide at Westbrook Hay and what make our boys and girls the confident, well-mannered young people of whom we are so proud.

We believe that a happy child is a child who is ready and excited to learn and learning is at the heart of everything we do.  With that foundation, every child at Westbrook Hay has the best possible opportunity to achieve success, whether it be in the classroom, in the performing arts, the sports field or elsewhere.  From success comes confidence and from there, the sky is the limit.

Westbrook Hay children work hard, but crucially they play hard too.  As a community, we are blessed with not only fantastic modern teaching facilities but also, superb grounds that offer a genuine countryside education within easy reach of the town.  Our children have 26 acres of fields and woods, in which to explore, learn and develop in the space, beauty and richness of the natural environment.  We want our children to play, run, jump, climb and occasionally come home with slightly muddy shoes!

Choosing a school is an incredibly difficult decision, a vitally important decision, and a decision that ultimately boils down to wanting the best for your child and finding a school that matches your ambition.  We hope that, having browsed our web site, you will want to visit us to find out more about why Westbrook Hay is such a popular first choice school for so many.
