About

An independent co-educational school in 40 acres of Hertfordshire parkland.

Headmistress' welcome

Children flourish when they are genuinely known

For nearly a century, Sherrardswood has believed that children flourish when they are genuinely known. We are a warm, all-through community where every child is seen as an individual — their strengths recognised, their challenges understood and their potential nurtured, from nursery right through to A-Level. The best way to understand us is to visit. I would be delighted to welcome you.

— Mrs Anna Wright, Headmistress

Our story — since 1928

Discovering the treasure inside each individual

Sherrardswood was founded in 1928 by Ethel Joy Wragg, whose guiding principle — “discovering the treasure inside each individual” — remains at the heart of the school today.

Our emblem carries her vision: the rose for love and warmth, and the oak for every child’s growth into a confident, grounded adult. Today the school occupies a Grade II listed Georgian mansion in 40 acres of parkland at Lockleys.
