dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School (HABS) is an academically high-achieving British independent school for boys aged 4–19. As a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and of the Haileybury Group (which comprises 26 well-known and influential independent schools), it is a public school in the specific English sense of the term. Approximately one fifth of the student body goes on to study at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, putting the school at 19th in the country in terms of Oxbridge admissions. In 1997 both the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail named Haberdashers' the best school in the nation, in 2001 was the Sunday Times independent school of the year. See also the HABS entry in the Tatler Schools Guide. The school was founded in 1690 by a Royal Charter granted to the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers to establish a 'hospital' for twenty boarders with £32,000 from the legacy of Robert Aske (£4,300,000 in today's money). The school relocated from the premises of the old hospital in 1903 and presently occupies 104 acres of fine greenbelt parkland in Elstree. At its centre is Aldenham House, a Grade 2* listed stately home formerly belonging Vicary Gibbs and bought from Lord Aldenham. In recent years the school offered boarding to a proportion of the school's students, but has now become fully day-schooling.
