New Hall School

A Catholic independent boarding and day school in Essex located 30 minutes from London, catering for students aged 1-18, and promising "The Best Start in Life." Renowned for a nurturing environment, it offers a balanced educational experience, blending rigorous academics with individual talent development. The School supports military families with specific awards and grants, reflecting its community commitment. Teachers at New Hall are passionate about their subjects, supporting all-round student success. New Hall features distinctive academic initiatives, like immersive language learning in its Cookery Department, where students cook while learning French or Spanish. This innovative approach addresses the national decline in language studies. Students have excelled in rugby, athletics, horse riding, cricket, netball, skiing, tennis, and football. The recently reopened Equestrian Centre, with advanced simulators and an outdoor learning area, showcases the School's commitment to diverse co-curricular activities that foster personal growth and leadership.

The New Hall Personal Development Award for KS3 students mirrors The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, with three progressive levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each level builds on students’ learning habits and character strengths, preparing them for advanced challenges by Year 10. Boarders love the welcoming, family-like atmosphere and opportunities for personal and academic achievement. New Hall’s ethos of care, trust and respect ensures a supportive community where every student is valued and encouraged to thrive.
