Haileybury is an independent, co-educational boarding school, located between London and Cambridge, in 500 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. Spectacular grounds are home to outstanding facilities, excellent teaching and superb pastoral care for its community of boarding and day pupils.

Academic rigour and outstanding co-curricular provision are at the heart of the school. Pupils enjoy exceptional opportunities and a truly all-round education which enables them to discover enduring passions and talents.

Academic opportunity

The school offers a dedicated Lower School for Years 7 and 8, a wide range of GCSEs and IGCSEs and the choice of the IB Diploma Programme or A levels in the Sixth Form.

Boarding and day

More than two thirds of pupils are boarders with school life centred around 12 boarding houses and Lower School having their own house. Pupils join at 11+, 13+, 14+ or 16+ entry points. Flexi-boarding is available in Lower School, which means families do not have to commit to full boarding.

Exceptional opportunities

A key part of the school's philosophy is empowering each child to follow their passions and build self-confidence. Pupils benefit from professional sports coaching from the likes of former Wales rugby captain Michael Owen and ex-England international netballer Dani McFarlane. There is also a packed co-curricular programme of more than 130 choices, from core sports to scuba diving, debating and beekeeping.

Haileybury offers a vast range of opportunities for pupils to immerse themselves in the Creative Arts both academically and as part of their co-curricular options. This consists of Drama, Music, Dance, LAMDA and Art partnered with excellent facilities to allow pupils to maximise their full potential in their chosen areas. The School takes pride in hosting spectacular arts productions with multiple showcases per term.

Haileybury are creative and innovative in terms of their teaching and curriculum and as such have partnered with professors from Stanford University to work as part of the global Stan-X study. Haileybury is the first school in Europe to participate in this pioneering study of genetics, contributing to efforts to find cures for diseases such as pancreatic cancer and diabetes.

Supportive environment

There is an emphasis on pastoral care with round-the-clock support from housemasters and housemistresses, the chaplain and tutors. The school is a home-from-home, with a warm and friendly feel. Every child is given the confidence to find their identity on a personal journey of discovery.
