 Berkhamsted Collegiate School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berkhamsted Collegiate School is a public school in Hertfordshire, England, formed in 1997 by the amalgamation of the original Berkhamsted School, founded in 1541 by John Incent, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, Berkhamsted School for Girls, established in 1888, and Berkhamsted Preparatory School.
Berkhamsted today follows the so-called Diamond Model, by which pupils are taught coeducationally in both the 'Prep' School and Sixth Form, but independently in the traditional 'Senior' years, between the ages of 11 and 16, from years 7 to 11.
The School is noted variously for its distinctive collegiate structure, the particular strength of its lacrosse sides and for participation in the life of the local community.

 UK Public Schools
A public school, in common English and Welsh usage, is a (usually) prestigious school, for children usually between the ages of 11 or 13 and 18, which charges fees and is not financed by the state.
Preparatory schools (historically also known as "private schools", as they were usually privately owned by the headmaster) take children from the age of eight (or younger) and prepare them for their entrance exams to public schools.
It also omitted the City of London School, another day school, which derived from a medieval foundation of 1442, was reconstituted by a private Act of Parliament in 1835, and was held to be a public school by the Divisional Court in the case of Blake v City of London (1886).

 Articles - Public school (UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A public school (in the independent sense) usually teaches children from the ages of 11 (for girls) or 13 (for boys) to 18, and was traditionally a single-sex boarding school, although many now accept day pupils and are coeducational.
By the late 19th century, public schools were characterized not so much by the way the schools were governed or the students educated as by a very specific ethos of student life often celebrated or parodied in the novels of the day.
University College School, founded in 1830 as part of University College London, was unique in that it neither took boarders nor gave religious education; indeed, by not limiting its intake to a specific religious denomination, it gained the claim of being the first truly "public" school, open to all.

Work at this prestigious school in Berkhamsted commenced with the demolition and removal from site of existing air raid shelters, and the infilling of a disused outside swimming pool.
The Client required the construction of a sports hall, fitness suite and swimming pool, with combined changing/showering facilities, separate from the main school building but linked at first floor level by a pedestrian bridge.
For aesthetic reasons, the new facility was cut into the side of an existing hill to reduce dramatically the visual impact and the Planners decided that the roof to the new building should be ‘green’ and consequently covered in grass or a vegetation blanket.
