About New Hall School

New Hall School is a Catholic co-educational independent boarding and day school in the village of Boreham in the City of Chelmsford, Essex, England. It was founded in 1642 in Belgium by sisters of the Catholic order Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre and moved to its current location, a former Tudor Palace of Beaulieu in Essex, in 1799. The school is now mostly run by lay staff but still retains its Catholic ethos and ties with the local diocese. It is the only independent Roman Catholic school in the Diocese and one of the largest and oldest of its kind in the country.

The school operates in “diamond” format. The Preparatory Divisions and Sixth Form are co-educational, while the Senior Divisions teaches in single-sex classes. The senior girls’ section is a member of the Girls’ Schools Association and the school principal is a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference.
