“Haileybury is proud of its history but it is also at the cutting edge of educational thinking”

TVs and Google Suite. Meanwhile, plans are progressing for a STEAM Centre on the site of the existing biology building. The aim is to create a dynamic new teaching hub that co-locates science, technology, engineering, art and maths. Pupils attend lectures from experts in their field, take cultural trips and participate in nationally recognised competitions such as academic Olympiads, university essay competitions and debating. The Haileybury Model United Nations (MUN) conference, which sees pupils from across the world debate global issues, is the largest event of its kind in the UK. Looking ahead to 2021 and beyond, it’s an exciting time for Haileybury’s most creative and ambitious young scientists, whose research could contribute towards finding a cure for pancreatic cancer and diabetes. Haileybury is the only school in Europe currently offering Stan-X – an open-ended science programme based on

experimental biology, allowing pupils to build resilience in learning by trial and error. Working collaboratively with Stanford University in the US and the University of Oxford, Stan-X is comparable to an undergraduate genetics course and is part of an innovative study involving other schools and colleges around the world. Established in 1862, Haileybury is a top co-educational boarding and day school for 11 to 18 year olds, just 20 miles north of London.
