SEN
From the School
Haberdashers’ Adams has been a free grammar school since it was founded over 350 years ago and offers an exceptional education for boys aged 11-18 and girls aged 16-18. It intends to go fully co-ed from September 2024. Our reputation for high academic results is equalled by a strong house system and a huge variety of enrichment activities. Haberdashers’ Adams is one of just a few state grammar schools in the UK to have a boarding facility. Around one hundred of our pupils are boarders (boys only) and boarding contributes much to the ethos of the school.

Junior boarders (Years 7-10) start their boarding life at Longford Hall, a beautiful Grade II* listed Georgian mansion, set in one hundred acres of grounds, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. They are cared for by a boarding housemaster and his team of matrons and tutors who all work together to create a welcoming and homely environment.

Senior boarders (Years 11-13) continue their boarding life in Beaumaris Hall, our purpose-built home metres from the entrance to the main school. Senior boarding aims to help pupils gain additional independence and is an ideal stepping stone between home life and university. Across the two facilities, we offer the best of town and country living.

The only fees payable at Haberdashers’ Adams are those associated with boarding which means we are able to offer a full boarding school education for considerably less than any independent school. Our current boarding fees for 2023/24 are £4,619 per term for years 7-11 and £5,065 per term for Sixth Form. This includes full board, with the option to go home at weekends, three main meals a day (plus refreshments and supper), laundry, supervised prep and a variety of extracurricular and social activities.
