At Haileybury, a caring environment is crucial to a pupil’s happiness and fulfilment. Around two-thirds of pupils are boarders and boarding life is varied and fun. There is an emphasis on pastoral care with around-the-clock support from the Housemasters and Housemistresses, 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.
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. The co-curricular programme is packed with opportunities, from climbing and scuba diving to filmmaking and Model United Nations – and countless more activities in between.
