History

Lockers Park was founded in 1874 by Henry Montagu Draper,[3] an old boy of Rugby School.[4] Its buildings and sports fields stand in 23 acres (93,000 m2) of the parkland which surrounds a Georgian country house called The Lockers,[5] which was once the home of Ebenezer John Collett. The new school was designed by Sidney Scott and has its own chapel which dates from the same era.[6]

In the 1940s and 1950s, the veteran England all-round cricketer Frank Woolley (1887–1978) was the school's cricket coach.[7]
