Founded in 1890, our school motto is 'spiritu inspiratus' which translates as 'lungfuls of inspiration'. It was chosen by our pupils and inspired by the 20+ acres of superb green space that we enjoy at Hazelwood.
We are a school that holds an unshakeable belief in the potential of every single child. Outside of our thriving nursery, pupils enter at age 4 into Reception or at 7+ to the Prep School. Entry at other ages is possible if space permits. Hazelwood School's Nursery and Early Year is open all year round for children from 9 months to 4 years.
A gradual transition is made towards subject specialist tuition in the middle and upper forms. Pupils are prepared for the Common Entrance examinations at 11+ and 13+ and also for Scholarships to Senior Schools.
Extracurricular activity is an important part of every pupil's education. Hazelwood offers over 45 after-school clubs across year groups, spanning sport, art, science, leisure and performing arts. We have excellent facilities including a heated indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, many games pitches, tennis courts, a food tech kitchen, graphic design suite, a design and technology studio, an innovation suite (called the BOX) and a brand new all-weather Astro pitch, completed in the summer of 2022.
Art, technology, music and drama are also strengths of the school. Our Centenary Theatre incorporates a 200-seat theatre, music school and chapel. We are also extremely proud of our musical performance space called Bawtree Hall with a 450+ seated auditorium.
For children in Years 7 and 8, our outstanding 2-year foundation programme, helping prepare children for transition into Senior School education, includes an Electives programme which enables pupils to choose between a range of subjects from stockbroking, forensic science, home economics, Mandarin, fashion and more.
Our pupils develop a curiosity about the world in which they live and a real passion for learning. Most importantly of all they become confident learners, mature and articulate individuals who love coming to school each day.
