Felsted School NORTH ESSEX
umping on the smart minibus from Trumpington, to the wide-open space of the north Essex countryside, chatting and laughing with their friends throughout a 45-minute journey. That’s just the start of a packed day for pupils at Felsted School. A growing number of Cambridge families are choosing Felsted for their children; not just for the excellent academic results, but also the huge choice of sports, arts, adventures 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, is the setting for an education that encourages each pupil’s character to flourish. Skills, talents and passions discovered here will last well into adult life. BROAD AND EXCITING The academic curriculum is broad and exciting. Felsted School, for boys and girls aged 13 to 18, offers a huge choice of subjects at GCSE and A-level, as well as the popular International Baccalaureate. The 11- to 13-year-old boys and girls have their own domain at Felsted Prep School, a bridge between the younger and senior years. Their learning is focused on honing the independent study skills needed for future development. Children aged four to 11 have a whale of a time in their small classes. Carefully devised lessons will lay solid foundations in maths and literacy, introducing the wonders of science, languages, sport and the arts. STRETCH, CHALLENGE, REINFORCE Right across the school, pupils at Felsted have the support they need. The more academically able are stretched and challenged to achieve new heights, while those who need it are given extra reinforcement. Each pupil’s individual academic needs are met.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM Felsted teams and individual sportspeople are often seen lifting national trophies. That said, sport really is for all. Team games are played at every level, so each pupil has the opportunity to represent the school in competition. Rugby, hockey, netball, football, tennis, swimming and athletics are all on the timetable, but there are plenty of options when it comes to keeping active and healthy – including yoga and dance. The school has its own professional-standard music school and theatre. These buzz constantly with the sound of young performing artists developing their skills. A link with the Junior Guildhall in London brings world-class instrumental teachers to Felsted, and the school calendar is bursting with concerts
