Beechwood Park School is a leading independent day and flexi-boarding school for boys and girls from 3 to 13. Located in a stunning, rural setting in Hertfordshire, it is only 15 minutes from Harpenden and 20 minutes from St Albans, Berkhamsted and Luton. Providing an excellent all-round education for boys and girls from 3 to 13, Beechwood Park School, founded in 1964, is a very recent part of the history of the Beechwood Park estate - a story that begins, as far as we can tell, with the foundation of a Nunnery, later called the Nunnery of St Giles in the Wood, in Saxon times. The land and Nunnery were handed to Ralph de Tony (whose name appears in the Domesday Book) by William the Conqueror when he divided up his new kingdom. Ralph had distinguished himself on the field of battle a number of times to William’s benefit and Beechwood Park was just one part of his reward.
