The pupils are made up mostly of Kazakhstan citizens and sons of embassy workers. They are all required to speak English.

Haileybury Astana

Following the successful foundation of Haileybury Almaty, a similar school under the auspices of Haileybury was planned to be built in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. The project commenced in 2009, and ground was broken on the construction phase in July 2010. Haileybury Astana opened on 31 August 2011, providing education for boys and girls from the two to eleven years of age under the leadership of Andrew Auster, Headmaster. The school follows the UK National Curriculum, with the addition of lessons in Kazakh language, history and geography and Russian. Bar languages, all teaching is conducted in English.
The pupils are drawn from all sectors of the city, with many nationalities represented, although the largest numbers of pupils are Kazakh, Russian or English nationals. Over time, the school will grow in both numbers and age of the pupils, adding a year group until provision is made for pupils up to the age of eighteen. Boarding facilities are planned to open in 2014. The school intends to follow the IGCSE curriculum to age sixteen, and the International Baccalaureate at sixth form.
