Welcome from the Head
A warm welcome to Lochinver House, a place where each child’s journey begins with curiosity and ends with confidence. At our independent school in Potters Bar, we believe that happiness and wellbeing are the foundations upon which success is built and our thriving, close-knit community is a daily testament to that belief.
We understand that each child’s pathway is unique. That’s why we place such importance on nurturing the whole child, with personalised attention that encourages them to feel seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are. In our vibrant learning environment, curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and children are inspired to ‘Start Small, Think Big’ from the very beginning.
At Lochinver House, our values of kindness, honesty, and respect underpin everything we do. These qualities are not just taught, they are lived, providing a moral compass that guides every child’s decision and action, and shapes confident, compassionate learners with a strong sense of self and responsibility.

A Future-Focused Education As we look at the horizon, we are committed to delivering a future-ready education. Our dynamic curriculum is designed to reflect the world our pupils are growing into; broad, interconnected, and global in perspective. We offer a purposeful and enriching journey that blends traditional academic excellence with forward-thinking, real-world learning. The introduction of the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in our lower years encourages discovery, creativity, and cross-curricular connections, laying strong foundations for lifelong learning. As pupils progress, our subject specialist teachers provide outstanding preparation for senior school success, with many pupils achieving places and scholarships at the UK’s top senior schools. Our reputation as a private school in Potters Bar with a proven track record of academic and personal development is built on our ability to adapt, innovate, and always put the child at the heart of our thinking. Learning That Inspires – Inside and Beyond the Classroom We believe education extends far beyond books and exams. Our broad co-curricular programme allows pupils to explore passions and uncover hidden talents, from music and drama to science, technology, and sport. These opportunities help children build resilience, confidence, and joy in their own development. In every classroom, studio, lab, and field, we encourage children to connect their learning, see the bigger picture, and understand their place in a diverse and changing world. The School is a hub of curiosity and collaboration, where partnerships with parents are highly valued, and learning is truly a shared journey. |
At Lochinver House, every child's future is our passion. Join us in creating a brighter, happier and more exciting tomorrow!
