Edge Grove School

Edge Grove School is an independent preparatory school on 48 acres in Aldenham with extensive facilities for learning and recreation. The grounds include sports halls, tennis courts, cricket areas, and an outdoor swimming pool that serve the school community.

The main house was built in 1733 by John Skey and is now a Grade II listed building. American financier John Pierpont Morgan purchased the property in 1912 and transformed it into an educational institution.

The school is divided into five houses named Hedgerows, Sarnesfield, Churchill, Stratton, and Gills to build community bonds among students. These groups shape daily life and create a sense of belonging within the wider school.

The school educates children aged 3 to 13 with a capacity of around 500 students and offers both day and boarding options. Visitors should plan visits in advance since this is an active school community operating throughout the year.

A new lower school building opened in 2019 to serve students in specific year groups with dedicated learning spaces. This addition reflects the school's commitment to providing age-appropriate environments for younger learners.
