What The Good Schools Guide says..
A dynamic and energetic school, with a long established, successful IB diploma programme. Co-curricular activities are very much part of Haileybury’s raison d’etre and the school has an outstanding reputation for both sport and choral music. Not a grand school in atmosphere. ‘It’s cosy and terribly, terribly happy,’ says one parent. ‘You could not think of a better place to have your teenager running around.’ Though Haileybury is ethnically and religiously diverse (with a fair number of…
What the school says...
Haileybury is an independent co-educational boarding school which offers a fully-rounded education for boys and girls aged 11 to 18. Haileybury is located between London and Cambridge, set in 500 acres of beautiful rural Hertfordshire.
Founded in 1862, Haileybury is proud of its history, tradition, community and values, taking the best from the past while looking to the future. Academic achievement and outstanding co-curricular provision are at the heart of the school, offering Haileyburians a truly all-round education and ensuring they leave as confident, tolerant and ambitious individuals who are leaders and life-long learners.
Boarding continues to be popular at Haileybury which The Master, Joe Davies, attributes to the fact that the College provides its boarders with a fulfilling, happy experience. 63% of the pupils board across the thirteen Houses within the campus grounds where more than 90% of our teachers also live.
We offer a dedicated Lower School (Years 7 and 8), a unique Year 9 curriculum, a wide range of I/GCSEs and the choice of IB Diploma or A Levels in the Sixth Form. Haileybury is consistently rank highly in The Times’ IB League Table. Our aim is to get every pupil into their first choice university.
Haileybury offers a range of Academic, Music or Sports scholarships which are measured as a percentage of the school fees. Bursaries are available to applicants according to need and are not reserved only for those who have been awarded scholarships. ...Read more

What The Good Schools Guide says
Master
Since 2009, Joe Davies MA (Cantab) PGCE (50s). Educated at Christ College, Brecon, then St John’s College, Cambridge, where he read history. After graduating, he worked in the City for a year but ‘hated every second,’ so returned to Cardiff (where his father was an academic) to do a PGCE. ‘I’d wanted to be a teacher from the age of 14, but thought it was too drippy to go straight back to school.’ Teaching clearly in the blood, since two brothers and three of his four grown children are also in the profession.
Taught at Tonbridge, where he became a housemaster, then deputy head of St John’s School, Leatherhead, before taking on his first headship at Sutton Valence. Stills teaches history to the higher level IB. He feels his achievement...

Special Education Needs
We are a small, fully qualified team which can provide specialist teacher assessments and specialist teaching for specific learning difficulties. Pupils are withdrawn from subject lessons once per fortnight for individual tuition which often focuses on spelling rules, writing skills, reading skills, comprehension exercises, memory trainers, study skills and exam and revision strategies. Each child has an individually-designed learning programme. Some pupils receive weekly tuition and this may involve supporting them with classwork and prep. We liaise with parents directly to discuss and review the support programme. Overseas children are able to have individual or group EAL teaching which normally takes place at the times pupils are not taking a Modern Foreign Language. Parents are required to pay an extra charge for all tuition.
