The setting
Haileybury has been one of Britain’s major independent schools for the last 150 years. It is set in a large and well maintained site of 500 acres just outside the county town of Hertford, within easy reach of central London and the airports.
The school has many fine historic buildings and has added an impressive collection of new buildings in recent years, beautifully designed to blend with and enhance the existing buildings. Some have won RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) National Awards for architectural merit.
The sports facilities are exceptional with a large sports hall, an indoor swimming pool, 8 tennis courts, football pitches and lots of outdoor playing fields.
The campus is compact with the dining hall, classrooms and sports facilities within five minutes walk of the boarding houses. It is a particularly safe and secure venue due to its location and has the additional benefit of 24 hour on site security.
All in all, a great place to live and learn.
