Lambrook Haileybury is a prep school in Berkshire for children between the ages of 3 and 13. The school has links with Haileybury, the public school in Hertfordshire
The school, located in the village of Winkfield Row, was formerly known only as Lambrook. As Lambrook it was a traditional boys' boarding preparatory school, and officially accepted only male pupils between 7 and 13. Since merging with Haileybury Junior School, it has expanded to accommodate younger pupils, day pupils and girls and now a new nursery. The current headmaster is James Barnes working alongside deputy headmasters Robert Spencer, Andrew Harvey and Alistair Thomas.

The history of the school dates back to 1860, when it was run as a boarding school for boys. In 1997 it joined with Haileybury Junior School in nearby Windsor to become Lambrook Haileybury. The school boasts 43 acres (170,000 m2) of grounds and playing fields, which includes a 9-hole golf course.
The school's website[1] states: "We are one of the best-resourced independent preparatory schools in the area. Since the merger, we have been implementinga development plan and so far have completed a well-equipped Science and IT block, a new Pre Prep building, an all-weather pitch and a senior classroom block built round a refurbished squash court."
The school is known for its high academic standards. It achieves "outstanding" results at Common Entrance, as well as excellent results at Key Stages I & II and at Scholarship level. Although catering mainly for day pupils, it also offers full, weekly and flexible boarding places. Fees range from around £4,000 a term for day pupils, up to £6,000 a term for boarders.
