History
The Haileybury campus originally belonged to, and was occupied by, the East India College, the training establishment founded in 1806 for administrators of the East India Company. The East India College was initially based at Hertford Castle, but substantial grounds in Hertford Heath were acquired for future development. William Wilkins, the architect of Downing College, Cambridge, and the National Gallery in London, was appointed principal architect. The buildings compose four ranges which enclose an area known as Quad, the second-largest academic quadrangle in Britain after Christ Church, Oxford.[6]
The East India College closed in 1858 and, four years later, Haileybury College was set up as a boarding school for boys on the site. The first headmaster was Arthur Gray Butler. 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 referred to simply as Haileybury.[7]
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.[8]
