CREATIVITY AND SPORTS 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 being said, sport really is for all, with team games at all levels. Every pupil has the opportunity to represent the school in competition, with rugby, cricket, hockey, netball, tennis, football, swimming and athletics on the table. 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, theatre and performing arts studio too. These locations are constantly buzzing with the sound of young performing artists developing their talents and practising their skills. A link with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London brings world- class instrumental teachers to the school, and the calendar is bursting with concerts and productions. Art, too, is impressive: high- quality artwork is showcased

INTERNATIONALISM AND UNDERSTANDING Felsted is an international community, bringing together pupils and staff from across the UK and around the world. Working and living side-by-side gives a unique insight into a range of cultures, views and values, encouraging young people to develop true understanding and respect for others.
