The school


The school was established by Augustus Orlebar, a former housemaster at Radley College, as a boarding school for boys in Bedford in 1892; it moved to Hinwick House near Wellingborough shortly thereafter and then to Gadebridge House in nearby Hemel Hempstead in 1914.[1] It remained there until it was forced out of its old premises by the Commission for New Towns as part of its development of the new town in 1963.[2] It took on its present name at its present site that year. It is now an independent Prep school which educates boys and girls from rising 3 –13 years. The school is in a rural location on 26 acres of parkland overlooking the Bourne valley, off the A 41 between Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire.[3]



The house


The house was built in the 17th century and remained in the ownership of the Ryder family (Richard Ryder, then Granville Ryder and then Dudley Ryder)[4] until the Second World War after which it became the headquarters of the Hemel Hempstead New Town Development Corporation.[5] During the 1950s the 650 yard drive became the Westbrook Hay Hill Climb.[6]
