[[Image:Haileybury College.jpg|thumb|300px|Haileybury College]]
'''Haileybury''' is an [[Independent school (United Kingdom)|independent school]] near [[Hertford]] in England. Originally a major boys' public school, it is now co-educational, enrolling pupils at 11+, 13+ and 16+ stages of education. Over 850 pupils attend Haileybury, of whom more than 550 board.
== History ==
The previous institution at Haileybury was the [[East India Company College|East India College]] (EIC), the training establishment founded in 1806 for "Writers", clerks and administrators, of the [[East India Company|Honourable East India Company]]. The EIC was initially based in [[Hertford Castle]], but substantial grounds on Hertford Heath were acquired for future development. [[William Wilkins (architect)|William Wilkins]], the architect of [[Downing College, Cambridge]], and the [[National Gallery, London|National Gallery]] in London, was appointed principal architect. The buildings were completed and occupied in 1809. They comprise four ranges which enclose an area known as ''Quad'', the largest academic [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quadrangle]] in Britain and one of the largest in the world.<ref>{{cite journal|last=|first=|title=Country Life, Volume 203|publisher=|year=2009|location=|page=28|url=|doi=|isbn=|date=}}</ref> In the wake of the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], the East India Company was nationalised, and its College closed in January 1858. This left the puzzle of what to do with the imposing buildings. For a time, they were used to quarter the [[Presidency Armies]], and then in 1861 the estate was sold at public auction, when it was bought by the British Land Company for £15,000.<ref>Richard Rhodes James, ''The Road from Mandalay: A Journey in the Shadow of the East'' (2007), p. 191</ref>
In 1862, a new public school opened on the site that retained many traditions of the East India College. Some houses were named after Old Boys or Principals of the EIC, and Haileybury's primary purpose during the second half of the 19th century was to provide soldiers and administrators for the [[British Empire]], principally [[British India]].
The Chapel dome was added by [[Arthur Blomfield]] and completed in 1877. Further Victorian additions were designed by [[John William Simpson (architect)|John William Simpson]]. The ''Memorial Dining Hall'' was opened by the future [[King George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]], and acts as a monument to former pupils who gave their lives in the [[First World War]]. During the past 40 years, its use has been extended to commemorate deaths of OHs in all military conflicts.
The dining hall contains one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe. Until the 1990s, the entire school of over 700 pupils dined there at a single sitting, all brought to silence for grace by the beating of a massive brass [[howitzer]] shell, captured from a German gun emplacement during the [[First World War]] and then converted into a [[gong]]. A gilded plaster boss in the centre of this dome represents an oak tree being struck by lightning. Known as ''Little Lightning Oak'' this decoration represents the massive oak tree that stands on the lawn in front of ''Terrace'', the promenade visible in this photograph. This tree was struck by lightning and all but destroyed but re-sprouted.
As well as the wooden tablets surrounding the exterior of the dining hall, there are other memorials to the school's 1,436 war casualties. The memorial on Terrace, originally built to commemorate those lost in the First World War, was unveiled by [[Alexander Godley|General Sir Alexander Godley]], [[Order of the Bath|KCB]], [[Order of St Michael and St George|{{Abbr|KCMG|Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George}}]] on 7 July 1923. It was designed by former pupil [[Reginald Blomfield|Sir Reginald Blomfield]]. Known as the ''[[Cross of Sacrifice]]'' this simple stone structure serves as a prototype for war memorials found in every [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission|Commonwealth War Cemetery]] and other war memorials around the world.
Seventeen former pupils of Haileybury and its antecedents have received the [[Victoria Cross]], and three the [[George Cross]].
In 1942, Haileybury and the [[Imperial Service College]] (which had itself subsumed the [[United Services College]]) merged to become '''Haileybury and Imperial Service College''', now known as Haileybury.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.haileybury.com/the-school/a-brief-history|title=The story of Haileybury|website=Haileybury}}</ref>
In the late 20th century, reforming headmaster [[David Jewell]] took charge of Haileybury, bringing it out of its post-cold-war austerity. [[Stuart Westley]], Master of Haileybury until July 2009, was responsible for making the school fully co-educational.<ref>''The Times'', Obituaries, July 2006</ref>
== Present day ==
Haileybury serves as a co-educational school for 11- to 18-year-olds. Girls' houses comprise [[John Russell Colvin|Colvin]], [[James Cosmo Melvill|Melvill]], [[Edmund Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby|Allenby]], Alban's and Hailey. The seven boys' houses consist of [[George Frederick Edmonstone|Edmonstone]], [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|Lawrence]], [[Henry Bartle Frere|Bartle Frere]], [[Rudyard Kipling|Kipling]], [[Joseph Batten|Batten]], [[James Thomason (British colonial governor)|Thomason]] and [[Sir Charles Trevelyan, 1st Baronet|Trevelyan]]. There is also a boarding house for the Lower School (Years 7 and 8) called Highfield. The [[Alan Ayckbourn|Ayckbourn]] Theatre functions as a modern auditorium with a fully equipped stage and back-stage. In 1997 the college chapel [[Pipe organ|organ]] was re-built by [[Klais Orgelbau|Klais]].
==Sport==
Haileybury is traditionally strong in [[rugby union]] and [[cricket]] and has honours boards with every rugby and cricket 1st team since 1863 at the front of the school. The major sports for girls are hockey, netball, lacrosse, tennis and cricket, with newly developed teams in football and rugby union. Boys play rugby, hockey, football, cricket and tennis. Boys and girls also represent the school in athletics, squash, swimming, [[rackets]], cross country, badminton, biathlon, basketball, rowing and sailing. Each Saturday, Haileybury puts out over to 4000 teams across the various sports.

In 1862, a new public school opened on the site that retained many traditions of the East India College. Some houses were named after Old Boys or Principals of the EIC, and Haileybury's primary purpose during the second half of the 19th century was to provide soldiers and administrators for the [[British Empire]], principally [[British India]].

The Chapel dome was added by [[Arthur Blomfield]] and completed in 1877. Further Victorian additions were designed by [[John William Simpson (architect)|John William Simpson]]. The ''Memorial Dining Hall'' was opened by the future [[King George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]], and acts as a monument to former pupils who gave their lives in the [[First World War]]. During the past 40 years, its use has been extended to commemorate deaths of OHs in all military conflicts.
-The dining hall contains one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe. Until the 1990s, the entire school of over 700 pupils dined there at a single sitting, all brought to silence for grace by the beating of a massive brass [[howitzer]] shell, captured from a German gun emplacement during the [[First World War]] and then converted into a [[gong]]. A gilded plaster boss in the centre of this dome represents an oak tree being struck by lightning. Known as ''Little Lightning Oak'' this decoration represents the massive oak tree that stands on the lawn in front of ''Terrace'', the promenade visible in this photograph. This tree was struck by lightning and all but destroyed but re-sprouted.

As well as the wooden tablets surrounding the exterior of the dining hall, there are other memorials to the school's 1,436 war casualties. The memorial on Terrace, originally built to commemorate those lost in the First World War, was unveiled by [[Alexander Godley|General Sir Alexander Godley]], [[Order of the Bath|KCB]], [[Order of St Michael and St George|{{Abbr|KCMG|Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George}}]] on 7 July 1923. It was designed by former pupil [[Reginald Blomfield|Sir Reginald Blomfield]]. Known as the ''[[Cross of Sacrifice]]'' this simple stone structure serves as a prototype for war memorials found in every [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission|Commonwealth War Cemetery]] and other war memorials around the world.
