Felsted School NORTH ESSEX
world-class education in East Anglia. Cambridge families choose Felsted School for their children, not just for the excellent academic results, but also the huge choice of sports, arts, adventurous and community activities that are part and parcel of every school day. The beautiful Felsted campus, with more than 90 acres of playing fields, pitches and landscaped grounds to explore, is just a 45-minute bus ride from Cambridge. It’s the setting for an education that encourages each individual pupil’s character to flourish, with skills, talents and passions that will last well into adult life to be discovered, developed and nurtured. BROAD AND EXCITING The academic curriculum is broad and exciting. At the top of Felsted Prep School, 11- to 13-year-old boys and girls have their own domain, where their learning is focused on honing the independent study skills they will need in order to make the most of their education going forward. Once in the senior school, boys and girls aged 13 to 18 have a huge choice of subjects at GCSE and A-level, as well as the popular option of the International Baccalaureate. Younger children, aged four to 11, have a whale of a time in small classes at the lower phases of Felsted Prep, their carefully devised lessons laying solid foundations in maths and literacy, and introducing the wonders of science, languages, the arts and sport. STRETCH, CHALLENGE, REINFORCE Right across the school, pupils at Felsted are given the support needed to make the most of their learning. Teaching is modern and engaging, taking place in the inspiring surroundings of historic school buildings, or the brand-new Marshall Centre for Learning, a state-of-the-art hub for independent study as well
as collaboration. The very able are stretched and challenged to achieve new academic heights, while those who need it are given extra reinforcement. CREATIVITY AND SPORT IN THE SPOTLIGHT One of the sportiest schools in the country, Felsted teams and individual sportsmen and women are often seen lifting national trophies. That said, sport really is for all at Felsted, with team games played at all levels. Every pupil has the opportunity to represent the school in competition. Rugby, cricket, hockey, netball, tennis, football, swimming and athletics are all on the timetable, but there are plenty of options when it comes to keeping active and healthy – including yoga, horse riding and dance. The school has its own professional-standard music school and theatre. These buzz constantly with the
