The history of the school dates back to 1860, when it was run as a traditional boys' boarding school, accepting only male pupils between the ages of 7 and 13. It was known only as Lambrook until 1997 when it merged with Haileybury Junior School in nearby Windsor, thereby connecting it to Haileybury to become Lambrook Haileybury, and expanding to accommodate younger pupils, day pupils and girls and a new nursery, known as the "pre-prep". In July 2009, the school severed all links with Haileybury and returned to the original name of Lambrook.
The school boasts 43 acres (170,000 m2) of grounds and playing fields, which includes a 9-hole golf course.
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 £3,000 in the pre-prep and £4,800 a term in the prep for day pupils, up to £6,000 a term for boarders.
