New Hall School
About New Hall School
Thank you for your interest in working at New Hall School.
The School is a thriving co-educational boarding and day school for up to 1,500 students aged 1 to 19. Founded in 1642, it is one of the oldest Catholic schools and the largest Catholic boarding and day school in the UK. The School’s ethos continues to be inspired by its founding Religious Community, the Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre. The charism of our founding Religious Community is service and hospitality; this is lived out in the actions of the volunteers that take part in the New Hall Voluntary Service (NHVS) . Founded in 1978, this thriving and popular programme has been providing help and support to members of our local community for over 45 years. Volunteering for NHVS promotes an enduring community spirit, nurtures responsible citizenship and encourages student-led charitable endeavour throughout the local area.
The School is set in a stunning location dominated by the former Tudor Palace of Beaulieu and is surrounded by 70 acres of beautiful parkland and heritage gardens. Located just outside Chelmsford city centre, the School is well connected to London – only 20 minutes by train – with a new station due to open at the foot of New Hall’s private approach road, The Avenue, in 2025. There are three nearby airports: London Southend, London Stansted and London City.
An extraordinary school with a distinctive character and close-knit community, New Hall is popular with local, national and international families. An early adopter of the diamond model, it offers a vibrant education for girls and boys, with single-sex teaching in the Senior Divisions for Years 7 to 11 and co-education in the early years, Preparatory Divisions and Sixth Form.
New Hall prides itself on the quality of teaching and learning. Seeking the highest possible levels of academic attainment is a priority. The School is equally proud to offer a rounded education, focused on developing the whole child. There is a strong emphasis on co-curricular enrichment, as recognised in its recent ISI Inspection reports. The School excels in sport, having recently been awarded Outstanding Sport in a Large School by the Independent Schools Association (ISA). With a well-established on-site Farm, a woodland school, and the development of an equestrian centre, the School makes the most of its unrivalled space to embed the many benefits of outdoor education into the curriculum for all age groups.
Dynamic leadership over the last 22 years under the Principal, Mrs Katherine Jeffrey, has seen the School make extensive capital investments across its estate, including a purpose-built Nursery, Sixth Form Centre with a brand-new Sixth Form silent study space, and two flexible, canopied outdoor performance spaces. Further exciting plans are underway for an additional Chaplaincy suite, outdoor basketball courts, and a Sixth Form Languages & Business Centre.
In 2012, the School established the New Hall Multi Academy Trust (NHMAT) and became sponsor of nearby Messing Primary School – an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ features. It is now looking ahead to new ventures and exciting opportunities to further grow its partnership work.
We hope that you find the information contained on our website helpful, and we look forward to receiving your application.
