Felsted was named Boarding School of the Year by the prestigious Times Educational Supplement and it's easy to see why. Our beautiful 90-acre countryside campus is the setting for an education for day pupils as well as our boarders that is exciting and inspiring. We embrace modern teaching methods and technology while celebrating the traditions of our 460+ year history too.
All this is just an hour away from both London and Cambridge, and 20 minutes from Stansted Airport. At Felsted, pupils aged four to 18 have everything they need to grow and thrive.
Classes are small throughout our independent school and every pupil is treated as an individual, encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, discover new interests and build on their passions.
From our youngest Felstedians in the Prep School starting on their learning journey, to our Sixth Form students in the Senior School who are busy studying at either A Level or the successful International Baccalaureate programme, every child has the space to grow and thrive so that they can go out into the world and make a difference.
