School History & Details

The Reverend Francis Wrottesley founded The Hall School in 1889 with the primary goal of educating the expanding number of boys in his own family. He accepted additional paying students, and the Belsize School for Boys was established. When enrollment had fallen to 13, he sold it to the Reverend Douglas Marshall in 1898. Marshall was a dynamic head, and with enrollment rising gradually to up to 50 students in 1905, it was obvious that new facilities were needed. With a girls school at The Hall Crossfield Road whose enrollment was decreasing, Marshall organised a building exchange. Marshall departed The Hall as it was in 1909, when attendance reached 100. In 1952, The Hall became a charity trust, and Raymond Cooper was named as its first non-proprietary head in 1955.

Football, tennis, rugby, forest school, and street dancing are just a few of the clubs available. Some are run by class teachers, while others are run by outside experts.
