Merchant Taylors' School
Merchant Taylors' School, Independent boys' school in Northwood, England.
Merchant Taylors' School is an educational establishment for boys in Batchworth within Hertfordshire county. The grounds spread across green space with sports fields, school buildings and teaching rooms for multiple year groups.
A London merchant founded the school in the mid-16th century to support young men from craft families. The establishment left the capital after nearly four centuries and settled northwest of London.
The campus bears the name of the London cloth-makers' guild that supported apprenticeship training for centuries. Today the building appears on the heritage list with period facades and traditional teaching rooms.
The site sits in a residential area that can be reached by a short walk from Northwood station. Visitors can follow public footpaths along the edge of the grounds.
The shift to mixed education in September 2025 ends a tradition from the 16th century. The change arrives in a year that also brings building extensions for additional pupils.
