The School

Aldenham Nursery opened its doors in 1992 and from its success the Pre Prep Department opened in 2000 which has grown into the thriving Prep School we have today. Having moved into the purpose built Vincent House in March 2021 children from Nursery to Year 6 enjoy impressive facilities reflecting a modern and forward thinking approach.

As part of Aldenham School founded in 1597 children have a smooth transition of education from 3-18 years.
