New Hall School is one of the UK’s leading independent schools, offering a unique diamond model of education:

• Ages 1-11: Co-educational in the Nursery & Preparatory Divisions
• Ages 11-16: Single-sex education in the Girls’ & Boys’ Divisions
• Ages 16-19: Co-educational Sixth Form

This structure allows students to benefit from both co-education and tailored single-sex teaching during key developmental years.

Founded in 1642, New Hall is the UK’s largest Catholic boarding and day school. While rooted in Catholic tradition, we welcome students and staff of all faiths who support our ethos of inclusivity, service, and academic excellence. Our commitment to innovation and outreach has led us to become the first independent school to sponsor a state primary academy, Messing Primary School, which has received Outstanding commendations in key areas.

With over 1,500 students and 300 staff, New Hall is a large, diverse, and dynamic community. Our students come from over 30 countries, and we offer a broad curriculum with a rich co-curricular programme spanning sport, music, drama, outdoor learning, and volunteering. Recent investments include:

• Expanded sports provision, including equestrian, football, and basketball
• New Hall Boreham House

A Unique Place to Work

New Hall is more than just a school—it is a vibrant and supportive community. Staff enjoy working in a fast-paced, fulfilling environment where no two days are the same. As a boarding school, there is always a lively atmosphere, with activities continuing into evenings and weekends. Our 140-acre heritage site, including a Grade I listed Tudor palace, provides a stunning and inspiring setting for both work and leisure. With a new railway station opening at the School’s entrance in 2025, access to London will be even easier—just 26 minutes to Stratford and 34 minutes to Liverpool Street.
