Felsted School

Felsted offers children aged four to eighteen a first class all round education, based on a safe, rural 80 acre village campus in stunning North Essex, only one hour from London and Cambridge.

We welcome students from all over the world to appreciate a leading British boarding school education. A variety of boarding options and day places are available to suit modern family life, with bus routes from across the region.

Founded in 1564, Felsted celebrated 50 years of co-education.Felsted produces self starting, entrepreneurial and independent spirits - characteristics that are immediately evident among the ambitious, self motivated and self aware pupils, who have some of the healthiest can-do attitudes we’ve seen.

Felsted is a family school, structured in such a way that your child will always be part of a school-within-a-school, in which academic stretch and pastoral support are always entirely personal and age appropriate. At the Prep School these take the form of ‘Phases’, at the Senior School it is within a House structure that your child will find nurture, support, camaraderie and friendship.

The beauty of this approach is that Felsted grows with your child. As pupils move through the school they enjoy more and more of the available space and specialist facilities and benefit from an ever-greater range of opportunities in a gradually extending day. Each much anticipated stage brings greater self-reliance and affords your child exciting new challenges, privileges and possibilities within a unifying framework underpinned by shared values and a clear pathway.
