Aldenham House

Haberdashers' Boys' School (also known as Haberdashers', Habs, or Habs Boys), until September 2021 known as Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, is a public school for pupils age 4 to 18 in Elstree, Hertfordshire, England. The school is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and the Rugby Group. The school was founded in 1690 by a Royal Charter granted to the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers to establish a hospital for 20 boarders with £32,000 from the legacy of Robert Aske (equivalent to approximately £5M in 2019). The school relocated in 1903 and currently occupies 104 acres of green belt countryside in Elstree. At its centre is Aldenham House, a Grade II* listed building, that was formerly the seat of the Lords Aldenham and home to Vicary Gibbs MP. While the school once offered boarding to some students, it has since become an all-day school, with the boarding quarters having been converted to offices. In 2017, it was the Sunday Times independent school of the year. In 2012 and 2016, it was the top independent boys' school in the country. Approximately 20% of its students go on to study at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, putting the school at 10th place in the country in terms of Oxbridge admissions. It has also sent boys to top US universities, including Harvard and Stanford. Haberdashers' Boys' School frequently tops the league tables and rarely falls out of the top 10. In 2014, The Telegraph placed the school at 8th in the country for A-Levels – with 80.87% of students achieving the A*–A grades. In 2015, the Sunday Times named Haberdashers' the best school in England owing to its results and resources.As a result of discussion in 2021, Robert Aske's name was dropped from the boys' and girls' Haberdashers' Schools in Elstree, although it was retained by their governing body. At the same time, the school's motto was changed, from "Serve and Obey" to "Together, boundless". The motto reflected the Christian values of the school, not its links with slavery, but was seen to be inappropriate following the discovery. The student body protested against this decision but was unsuccessful in its appeal.
