Haileybury is a leading independent co-educational boarding and day school, situated on 500 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, just 20 miles north of London. Haileybury's spectacular grounds are home to outstanding facilities, excellent teaching and superb pastoral care for its community of pupils.
Academic excellence
The school offers a dedicated Lower School for Years 7 and 8 and a wide range of GCSEs and IGCSEs. In the Sixth Form, pupils can select to study for A levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Haileybury is extremely proud of the excellent examination results achieved by its A Level, IB and (I)GCSE pupils and was named 'best UK fully co-educational IB independent school 2024' by The Times.
Boarding and day
Around two-thirds of pupils are boarders and boarding life is varied and fun. On joining Haileybury, boarding and day pupils are allocated to one of the Houses and are welcomed into their House community.
Exceptional opportunities
A key part of Haileybury's philosophy is empowering each child to follow their passions and build self-confidence. Beyond the academic curriculum, pupils benefit from a vast array of activities, including professional sports coaching for all and regular visits from speakers and performers from the arts, sporting and academic worlds. The co-curricular programme is packed with opportunities, from climbing and scuba diving to filmmaking and Model United Nations - and countless activities in between. Haileybury also encourages pupils to immerse themselves in the Creative Arts. Drama, Music, Dance, LAMDA and Art are at the heart of school life and the school takes pride in hosting spectacular productions and multiple showcases each term. It is Haileybury's ambition to provide pupils with the very best facilities for all aspects of their education. The new Science and Technology buildings offer the latest technology to further challenge pupils and enhance their skills. It provides the space and opportunity for them to participate in innovative initiatives, such as the global Stan-X programme, a pioneering study of genetics. Working from purpose-built labs, Haileybury pupils are contributing to efforts to find cures for diseases such as pancreatic cancer and diabetes.
Supportive environment
At Haileybury, a caring environment is crucial to a pupil's happiness and fulfilment. There is an emphasis on pastoral care with around-the-clock support, as well as an on-site Health and Wellbeing centre providing a circle of care. The school is a home-from-home, with a warm and friendly feel.
