About Elstree School
Elstree is an award-winning independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3 -13 years, just over an hour outside of London in rural Berkshire.
Set in 150 acres of beautiful grounds, Elstree offers a secure and stimulating environment for children to be nurtured and inspired.
Elstree provides a first-class education within a distinctive warm and friendly atmosphere. Proud of its rich history and reputation as a school with high academic, creative and sporting achievements, pupils from Elstree gain places to some of the country’s top Senior Schools, including Eton, Radley, Bradfield, Marlborough, Winchester and Wellington.
Elstree is large enough to accommodate two state of the art Science laboratories, a new Music School, full size all-weather pitch, outdoor pool, woodland for outdoor learning, and a lake for kayaking, yet with a total intake of around 275, Elstree is small enough to be personal and family-focused.
Elstree retains its traditional values whilst fully embracing today’s thinking and aims to help pupils realise their full potential with the encouragement and support of dedicated staff, excellent pastoral care and a full array of extra-curricular programmes, for which Elstree is renowned.
