The school offers GCSEs, A-Levels and the IB.
Felsted College is a moderately selective school and achieves consistently good academic results considering. In 2024, its GCSE results yielded 40% 9-7 grades, its A-Levels 33% A-grades and an IB average of 35 points, five points above the world average. This is a very decent set of results across the board!
Latin, Spanish, German, Italian and French are on offer.
Business studies and economics especially popular here, which is in keeping with a key element in Felsted College's focus: to educate tomorrow's business (wo)men and entrepreneurs.
80% of pupils board, some of which is flexi-boarding. Eight boarding houses, ranging from the traditional to the modern. The Upper 6th-formers get their own boarding houses with single rooms and more university-like freedoms.
Exeat weekends exist but are not compulsory.
Felsted School has a refreshingly progressive atmosphere and has a good knack of helping pupils to become sucessful in business and entrepreneurship after school and university. Whether it is encouraging the uptake of courses like economics and business studies, its thriving Young Entrepreneurs Club, or facilitating connections with old Felstonians in the City of London, the school prepares the ground for future success in these areas like few other schools we know.
Sports is very good at Felsted School, with hockey and horseback-riding deserving special mentions. The offer is broad and includes the holy trinity of rugby, cricket and netball, but also swimming, badminton, squash, water polo and tennis, to name a few.
Felsted School sure keeps its pupils busy. The list of extracurricular activities is long and includes anything from beekeeping to amateur radio.
The last time we visited we weren't too impressed with the rather old indoor swimming pool. Time for an upgrade, we think!
