Our Stories
In 2024 Felsted celebrated its 460 year anniversary.
We are incredibly lucky to have such a rich collection of memories in our archives, including some recently donated footage showing Cricket and Speech Day from the 1930s!
As we reflect on the many highlights of the past 460 years, we are looking forward to the next chapter as our global community continues to grow and thrive.
We have been delighted with Felsted both educationally and pastorally. Our daughter has achieved beyond her expectations, mainly due to the good advice she received when joining, and watching her academic confidence grow has been lovely to watch.
The best thing about boarding is having all of your friends around you - it provides an amazing foundation with so many people - you get to experience so many wonderful things.
Our daughter has had a fantastic two years. Moving schools for Sixth Form was not an easy decision, but we can say it was absolutely the right decision for her.
Our children are traditional boarders and Felsted has moulded and transformed them into responsible, confident young adults. We are proud of the people they are growing up to be. Thanks to the guidance and support they receive from the school. Though we are miles away, we know our children are being cared for wholeheartedly. The care they give to our children we deem priceless.
Felsted has provided the perfect education, support and opportunities for our children. However, the most important thing for us is that they have always been so happy at school, often wishing the holidays over just to get back to the exciting agendas ahead, which is wonderful.
I started boarding when I was in Year 6 as a flexi boarder - it was the best thing having fun with friends. Boarding at Felsted Prep prepared me very well for boarding in the Senior School. I would definitely recommend boarding.
As parents we feel that Felsted has offered our daughter a very happy and supported space to enjoy being a teenager and all that this brings. Thank you!
I just wanted to say that our connections with Felsted have been outstanding since the first time we contacted you which has made us more confident it is the right school for our son. Having worked in the service industry for many years, building a unique culture and core purpose and executing this across all parent pupil touch-points takes effort as well as belief in what you are doing. This is what helped finalise our decision over another leading school.
We would like to thank the entire Felsted staff who have been nothing but exceptional throughout our interactions, be it in person at the school or remotely via phone and email. Our experience confirms our believe that Felsted is one of the leading schools in Britain and a place where students can thrive.
