Open Day Visits

Welcome to Hatfield College

Hatfield College is a vibrant and welcoming community to which each and every student, alongside other college members, belongs, reflecting our ethos and recent joint declaration #AllOneHatfield.

Hatfield is a very strong and supportive community; members of Hatfield look out for and care for each other. We combine pride in our historical roots and traditions, with a thoroughly contemporary outlook, gaining strength from our long-established community whilst constantly evolving to meet new challenges.

Members of Hatfield carry the Hatfield spirit of participation and supportive community out into life and careers beyond. College members proudly proclaim once a Hatfielder always a Hatfielder, reflecting the tremendous warmth and loyalty the experience of belonging to Hatfield promotes.

We look forward to welcoming you on your visit.

Master of Hatfield College
