Haileybury and Imperial Service College (usually shortened to Haileybury & ISC or Haileybury) is a British independent school founded in 1862. The school is located at Hertford Heath, near Hertford, 20 miles (32 km) from central London, on 500 acres (2.0 km2) of parkland occupied until 1858 by the East India College. Originally a boys' public school, it is now co-educational, enrolling pupils at 11+, 13+ and 16+ stages of education. Over 750 pupils attend Haileybury, of whom more than 500 board.
History
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Present day
Today Haileybury is a co-educational school for 11-18 year-olds, with recent girls' boarding houses, Colvin, Melvill, Allenby, Albans and, also, Hailey for day girls and many facilities. There are still seven boys' boarding houses in the school, (Edmonstone, Lawrence, Bartle Frere, Kipling, Batten, Thomason and Trevelyan). The Ayckbourn Theatre is a fully functional modern theatre. The college chapel organ was built by Klais in 1997, with two manuals and thirty stops. A recent development is the opening of a new modern languages centre and there is an modern, purpose-built (1999) design technology centre. There is a modern sports centre and a synthetic running track. Haileybury has a rackets court, built in 1908, which is unusual in having a double gallery. During World War II, it was damaged by the blast from a V-2 rocket[citation needed] and was not restored until 1952 due to the school being evacuated from bombing risks. The school supports a professional coach (Mike Cawdron lad), making it one of the twelve schools in England to have a rackets court and coach.
Groups originating from Haileybury support a number of charities such as The Children's Trust, Tadworth, the Home Farm Trust and the Boys' Club in Stepney once managed by Old Haileyburian Clement Attlee (who was also involved with the Haileybury Youth Trust which is now based in Uganda improving the lives of hundreds of Ugandans in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly way) and Changing Faces - a charity which supports and represents people who have disfigurements to the face, hand or body.[1] Attlee was noted for his promotion of fellow Old Haileyburians.
The school was featured in the TV drama A Class Apart, starring Nathaniel Parker and Jessie Wallace.
Recent developments
During the past decade, the facilities at Haileybury have been developed. This has included the building of a new sports complex with an indoor swimming pool, two girls' houses (Melvill and Colvin) and two boys' houses (Edmonstone and Bartle Frere), a tennis centre run by Legends Tennis, a technology centre and a modern languages centre opened in March 2010. Highfield, previously a boys' only boarding house for Lower School boys, has been extended to incorporate additional space to house Lower School girl boarders.
Haileybury Almaty
In 2006/2007, Haileybury advised on the building of a Haileybury in Almaty, Kazakhstan where all English GCSEs are taught and the curriculum is taught similarly under the guidance of Haileybury. The school, opened in September 2008, is known as Haileybury Almaty. The pupils are made up mostly of Kazakhstan citizens. They are all required to speak English. Academic year 2010–2011 saw the first batch of pupils pass their IGCSE exams. Since August 2011 Haileybury Almaty has opened a 6th form. A second school, in the capital Astana, was opened in September 2011.[2]
Haileybury Astana
Following the successful foundation of Haileybury Almaty, a similar school under the auspices of Haileybury was planned to be built in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. The project commenced in 2009, and ground was broken on the construction phase in July 2010. Haileybury Astana opened on 31 August 2011, providing education for boys and girls from the two to eleven years of age under the leadership of Andrew Auster, Headmaster. The school follows the UK National Curriculum, with the addition of lessons in Kazakh language, history and geography and Russian. Bar languages, all teaching is conducted in English. The pupils are drawn from all sectors of the city, with many nationalities represented, although the largest numbers of pupils are Kazakh, Russian or English nationals. Over time, the school will grow in both numbers and age of the pupils, adding a year group until provision is made for pupils up to the age of eighteen. Boarding facilities are planned to open in 2014. The school intends to follow the IGCSE curriculum to age sixteen, and the International Baccalaureate at sixth form.
Haileybury and Model United Nations (MUN)
Model United Nations (MUN) is popular extra-curricular activity students in the senior school. Throughout the year, groups of students are chosen to form delegations which meet two times per week outside of school hours to practice writing and debating resolutions. These students then travel to several MUN conferences in the UK and mainland Europe to debate their resolutions.
Haileybury host their own Model United Nations conference every year (HMUN)[3] for nearly 900 pupils, making it largest MUN conference in the UK.[4] The conference is typically held the weekend before the Easter holiday. Committee rooms are located in some of the iconic buildings on the Haileybury campus and the General Assembly takes place in the Sports Hall.
