aileybury pupils are encouraged to be academically curious every day and a key part of the school’s philosophy is to empower each child to fully explore areas of interest. Pupils
select personal pathways to customise their learning experience and complement the core curriculum. A pupil in year 9 may pick the advanced science and astrophysics pathway to discover how physics and science work under conditions that are impossible to recreate on Earth. A sixth form pupil may be fascinated by criminology and, through selecting this pathway, they are able to attend challenging lectures that will allow them to consider whether crime really is a consequence of one’s environment. Year 10 pupils at Haileybury can complete a Global Awareness Project that encourages them to engage with questions such as: how do we eradicate poverty and improve education for all? For the geopolitics pathway, pupils delve into issues surrounding drilling for oil in the Arctic and territory disputes between Israel and Palestine. Pathway options are diverse and forward- thinking. Pupils are encouraged to make ambitious and aspirational choices to challenge themselves. Whether it’s the academic enrichment of pathways or preparation for exams, Haileybury’s state-of-the-art classrooms, science laboratories and a design and technology centre are all bustling with activity every day. Its 500-acre campus also has a high-tech music school and performance venues, including the purpose-built Ayckbourn Theatre, which is named after notable director and former pupil, Sir Alan Ayckbourn. Haileybury is proud of its history but it is also at the cutting edge of educational thinking. As part of the school’s commitment to innovation, an artificial intelligence (AI) platform is used to help understand a pupil’s learning profile. Classrooms are fitted with Apple
