New Hall School is a leading independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 1-19. Founded in 1642, New Hall School is one of the oldest Catholic schools in the UK. New Hall is a strong and thriving community, set in a stunning location on the edge of the city of Chelmsford.
At New Hall we operate the highly successful ‘diamond model’ structure, i.e. co-education in the Preparatory School (ages 1-11), single-sex education in the Boys’ Division and Girls’ Division (11-16) and co-education in the Sixth Form (16-19). In this way, New Hall provides the best of both worlds: the benefits of a co-educational environment together with the advantages of girls and boys being taught separately throughout the 11-16 age range. The provision of single-sex education during formative years enables students to grow in confidence, whilst enjoying an education that is specifically tailored and that recognises the different ways in which boys and girls learn.
Students can board from ages 7-19 in one of six boarding houses. High academic expectations and achievements, together with outstanding pastoral care and exceptional drama, music and sports facilities and provision, together make New Hall a wonderful place to be educated.
The ethos at New Hall has been inspired by the founding Religious Community, the Canonesses of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. New Hall has thriving Chaplaincy, and Theology teams and the community benefits from having a full time resident Priest Chaplain. The School welcomes all who support its ethos.
New Hall will absorb a significant amount of VAT on School fees. Reflecting this, from Lent Term 2025, the School’s fees, inclusive of VAT, will be 12.5% above those of Michaelmas Term 2024.
