Haileybury and Imperial Service College

Haileybury College is an English public school founded in 1862. It is a modern co-educational boarding school welcoming pupils at 11+, 13+ and 16+.

Currently

Today Haileybury is a coeducational school for 11-19 year-olds, with recent girls' boarding houses, and many facilities. 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. 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 Rakete (sic) and was not restored until 1952. The school supports a professional coach.
