Haileybury pupils are celebrating an outstanding set of International Baccalaureate results this year, reflecting both their academic ability and the dedication they have shown throughout their studies.

The cohort has achieved an impressive average score of 37.8 points*. The global IB average has been 30 in recent years. Among these excellent outcomes, two pupils attained the maximum 45 points, three pupils achieved 44 points, and 26 pupils scored 40 points or more, a significant accomplishment in this highly regarded qualification.

These results are a testament not only to the pupils’ hard work and perseverance, but also to the support and guidance of their teachers and the wider school community. The IB programme demands intellectual curiosity, resilience and a global outlook, and our pupils have risen to that challenge with distinction.

We congratulate all of our IB pupils on their achievements and are immensely proud of everything they have accomplished.

Following a reflective Commemoration Service, it was a joy to celebrate the achievements of our pupils over the past year in the Prizegiving Ceremony. This year, we were delighted to welcome Dr Olajide Williams (B 83) as our Guest of Honour, whose speech was both heartfelt and inspiring. Beautiful musical performances from our pupils added to an unforgettable occasion.

On this glorious summer’s day, the Haileybury community came together in great spirits, rounding off the morning with a convivial lunch on Quad and Memorial Quad and a special flypast. The afternoon concluded with the art and archive exhibitions and some excellent cricket from our boys’ and girls’ 1st XIs v the MCC.

In the evening, the Upper Sixth Leavers’ Ball provided a fitting finale to our leavers’ Haileybury careers, as the Class of 2026 marked the end of their time at the School in style, alongside their parents, who joined them for the evening. It was a wonderful occasion of celebration, with pupils looking incredibly elegant for the occasion.

The Speech Day Marquee was transformed into a superb setting for the Ball and, after a delicious dinner, a live band and plenty of dancing rounded off the night. As the Class of 2026 leaves Haileybury with lifelong friendships, many achievements and so much to be proud of, the evening was a memorable celebration of all they have accomplished.

Thank you to all the families who joined us to celebrate this very special day.

During October half-term, Haileybury pupils had the privilege of spending two days at one of CITC’s partner schools in Nepal, gaining insight into lessons, culture and the challenges surrounding girls’ education. Building on this experience, Dawa Geljen Sherpa (CITC founder), Dave Thomas (trustee and trip leader) and Mike Hagen (Chair) visited our school this week, where they were hosted by Lower Sixths pupils Adam and Hailey, who had been on the trip

CITC supports 15 schools in Nepal, focusing on promoting female education through teacher training and addressing barriers such as menstrual health and discrimination. The visit also provided an opportunity to thank the Haileybury community for its fundraising support, with exciting potential for future collaboration.

Haileybury’s Boys’ XI produced a superb performance to secure a memorable victory away at Harrow today.

Harrow set a competitive 173–4 from their 20 overs, with Kai (L6) and Conway (U6) impressing with disciplined bowling. In reply, James (L6) delivered a truly outstanding innings, smashing a magnificent 105 from just 56 balls, including eight sixes. His commanding display set the tone for an exciting chase.

A late rain delay added to the drama, leaving Haileybury needing 10 from the final over. Tommy (U6) rose to the occasion with a crucial six, and, alongside Aaron (Vths), held their nerve to seal a thrilling win off the very last ball.

A fantastic team effort, highlighted by some exceptional individual performances.
