No child gets lost in the crowd
In a big school it is easy for a child to slip quietly to the back. We built Sherrardswood to be the opposite of that — teachers notice the quiet child as quickly as the loud one.
About Sherrardswood
Every child known by name, not by number
Founded in 1928, Sherrardswood is an independent, non-selective, co-educational school for children aged 2 to 18, set within 25 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire parkland.
Our promise
No Hiding Place
No child overlooked, no potential left undiscovered, every child known.
Talent is spotted early and stretched; a wobble is caught before it becomes a problem; and no voice goes unheard. That is not a slogan — it is the reason our results sit above expectation, achieved with children of all abilities.
What makes us different
One school. One journey.
Many families join us at age two and stay through to A Levels. There is no 11+ to sit and no anxious move to a new school along the way.
Exceptional outcomes for every child
Our A Level value added is significantly above the national average, achieved without selection. We measure ourselves by how far a child travels with us.
Our history
Founded in 1928
“Discovering the treasure inside each individual.”
Ethel Joy Wragg, Founder, 1928
Nearly a century later, that founding idea still shapes every school day — from Nursery Forest School to Sixth Form university preparation.
