The Haileybury Heritage 

At Haileybury Malta, we truly cherish the uniqueness of every child. We understand the importance of nurturing self-esteem, fostering creativity, and honing decision-making skills during those crucial formative years. As pupils progress through our school, we emphasise not only academic rigour but also prioritise their overall wellbeing and resilience-building. Since our inception in September 2023, Haileybury Malta has been provided with with unwavering support, both in terms of academic provision and pastoral care, from our sister school, Haileybury UK. The impact of this collaboration cannot be overstated, as pupils aspiring to attend universities in the UK, Europe, and the US can do so with confidence, knowing they are backed by a renowned academic institution. This affiliation with such a prestigious British school proves advantageous not only for our international students but also for Maltese pupils and their families, as they strive for the very best university placements abroad.

Curriculum

Considering the British school system for your child may feel both enticing and daunting, given its rich tradition and reputation for academic excellence. At Haileybury Malta, we understand the importance of making well-informed decisions about your child’s education, and we are here to guide you through the complexities of the British system. Here is an introduction to the key stages, curriculum, and opportunities available, providing clarity for your child’s educational journey.

Since our foundation in September 2023, the school caters for a limited number of pupils aged 5-15 (UK Years 1-10). We follow the English National Curriculum from Year 1, building up to pre-GCSE work preparation with our older pupils. From September 2025, our youngest pupils will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage programme in Nursery and Kindergarten, and then Key Stage 1 in Years 1 and 2. In the prep school, we follow the Key Stage 2 curriculum in Years 3-6, and the first two years of Key Stage 3 in Years 7 & 8. Additional challenging enrichment is woven into the curriculum in order to extend and enhance pupils’ academic progress.

In the senior school, pupils study towards the IGCSE qualifications, leading to the International Baccalaureate when they reach VIth form, ensuring our pupils are prepared for life at the best universities across the world.

Educational structure

The Educational structure of the school is based on an application to the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) to become an IBO school. This Accreditation can take up to 3 years from the time of application and will be dependent upon the facilities available in the school building, the quality of equipment, resources, planning, training and staffing.
