CAT4 test
Applicants will also sit an online cognitive abilities test (CAT) which is provided by GL Assessment. This test assesses verbal and non-verbal reasoning and quantitative and spatial skills.

Interview
During the assessment day, all pupils will be interviewed. The main focus of this interview is to get a better understanding of the applicant as a learner but questions are likely to also explore other interests, achievements and skills in order to provide a clearer idea of each child as an individual.
Additional information
A school report and a confidential reference from the applicant’s current school will also be requested. In assessing applications an holistic judgement is made, based on each of the aforementioned aspects of the admissions process.
SCHOLARSHIPS

FINANCIAL MATTERS
BURSARIES
Bursary support usually takes the form of a fee remission payable depending upon the financial circumstances of applicants. The awards are made at the discretion of the Master in consultation with the Bursary Awards Committee, based on a means test, which includes a review of a family’s circumstances, income and capital resources. An initial review of applications is conducted and those cases which are deemed to fit the set criteria are referred to the School’s independent financial consultants (Bursary Administration Limited – BAL) for assessment. The formal report is reviewed by the Master and the Bursary Awards Committee and a decision is reached.
The BAL process is necessarily formal. If an application is not forwarded to BAL, or if a bursary is not awarded following assessment by BAL, parents will be informed of this.
Applications for the forthcoming academic year must be received prior to 1 October. Applications received after this date, or applications that are incomplete, may not be considered and could result in no award being made. Please see our Bursary, Scholarship and Widening Access Policy on our website for further guidance and to find out how to apply.
Please note that international applicants are generally not eligible for a bursary award.

The Governors reserve the right to increase fees, extras, and deposits, giving a term’s notice, and to charge interest on any unpaid fees.
IT provision
At Haileybury, we use digital technology to enhance and augment our teaching and learning; the pupils’ iPads form an integral part of this experience. To support their learning, all pupils have an iPad, keyboard case and Apple pencil. Pupils in the Lower Sixth must have either an iPad or MacBook. Please note these devices must be purchased through the School’s supplier.
A list of optional extra costs can be found on the fees page of our website.
BOARDING LIFE
On joining Haileybury, new pupils are allocated to one of our 13 Houses, all of which contain both boarders and day pupils. Each House is led by a Housemaster or Housemistress (HM) who becomes the key person in your son or daughter’s school life, someone who knows them closely and is always looking out for them. HMs ensure the mental and physical health, well-being and academic progress of each and every pupil in their care. HMs are supported by Matrons, Deputy HMs, Resident Tutors and a team of tutors so there is always someone on hand to help or just have a chat.
More than two-thirds of pupils are boarders but day pupils can enjoy the benefits of wrap-around care, activities, sport and all-round provision. While pupils may go home after sport on Saturday afternoon, weekends are fun, purposeful and relaxing, with a wide range of activities laid on.
YEARS 7 AND 8
Lower School boarders (boys and girls) live in the purpose-built Highfield House. Pupils have the option to flexi-board or weekly board.
Pupils can board regularly for one or more (up to a maximum of six) nights per week in Highfield. Pupils return home or go to a Guardian from Saturday lunchtime until Sunday evening.
YEAR 9
A full boarding experience is offered from Year 9. Pupils also have the option to flexiboard for either two or three consecutive nights every week, if bed space in the House allows.
WEEKENDS
Saturday morning lessons are an important part of life for the Middle School and Sixth Form pupils, for both day and boarding Haileyburians. Pupils play sport and matches on Saturday afternoon, with parents warmly encouraged to attend fixtures if they can.
Pupils in Years 7 and 8 have no timetabled lessons on Saturday mornings but are expected to take part in sports and fixtures during this time.
On Sunday mornings, boarding pupils can lie in and enjoy a brunch. Optional organised activities take place on Sunday afternoons. Alternatively, pupils can relax with their friends onsite, make use of the extensive facilities or spend time catching up on their studies.
LONG EXEAT WEEKENDS
Long Exeat weekends occur three times each year; twice during the Autumn term and once during the Spring term. Pupils may leave school at 1.00 pm on Friday and are expected to return by 9.30 pm on Sunday. For those who prefer to stay at School, two boarding houses will remain open during Long Exeat weekends.
