Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

School Notice
The quaint tradition of the school notice continues in fine fettle. Today there are notices about the new term in both the Telegraph and the Times. Another one for the scrap book!
Years ago I went through a stage of reading Private Eye, and have never been able to read these announcements since without the recollection of St Cake's School whose parody of them was always spot on.
The Telegraph used to distinguish between schools which paid for the notice and those that did not need to by italicising the name of the former - I think only the Clarendon schools got in for free
