Haileybury College is an English public school founded in 1862. It is a modern co-educational boarding school welcoming pupils at 11+, 13+ and 16+. 1 History
The school is located at Hertford Heath , near Hertford, 20 miles from London in rural countryside on a site occupied until 1858 by the East India Company College. Its architect, William Wilkins, later designed the National Gallery in London, which bears some similarities.
The buildings reopened as Haileybury in 1862. The large dome which dominates the skyline was added as part of Arthur Blomfield 's Chapel, completed in 1877. The dome was badly damaged by fire when only a year old and had to be extensively repaired.
In 1942, Haileybury absorbed the Imperial Service College, which had already absorbed the United Services College. There are impressive memorials to 1,435 alumni who perished in wars. Seventeen former pupils received the Victoria Cross, and three the George Cross.
