New Hall School

New Hall School in Chelmsford, Essex, is a renowned independent day and boarding school catering to children aged 3-19. The school is located on a picturesque 70-acre estate, which was once a palace belonging to King Henry VIII. Following the 'diamond model', New Hall teaches boys and girls together in the prep school and in the 6th form, while maintaining single-sex classes for Years 7-11.

Though not considered a 'hot house,' New Hall is committed to promoting high academic standards. In 2019, A-level results placed the school in the top quartile of co-ed boarding schools. The student body is diverse, with a balanced mix of British and overseas students, and a significant number of boarders. As a Catholic school, New Hall welcomes students of all faiths and none. Class sizes are generally small, particularly in the 6th form, where students enjoy their own dedicated study space and relaxation zone in the Arts block.

Music, dance, and drama are integral aspects of the school's curriculum, with drama productions taking place year-round in a dedicated arts centre. Sport is another key feature, with exceptional facilities available for a wide range of activities. New Hall School truly offers a well-rounded, enriching educational experience for its students.
