ELIZABETH COLLEGE

Elizabeth College, founded in 1563 by Queen Elizabeth I, is a broadly selective day school. One of the earliest members of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC), the College provides a challenging, broad and stimulating academic and extracurricular programme for children between the ages of 2½ and 18.

Elizabeth College Junior School is coeducational. The infant department at Acorn House provides a pre-school and pre-prep education for children aged 2½ through to 7 (Key Stage 1). The Junior department, at Beechwood, provides an education for children aged 7 through to 10 (Key Stage 2) and prepares boys and girls for entry to secondary education at the age of 11. ECJS Acorn House and ECJS Beechwood are co-located on a site approximately half a mile away from the Upper School. 

The Upper School became coeducational in September 2021 with girls joining the College in Year 7 and Year 12. This change was made recognising the needs of modern society and builds on both our well-established coeducational offering in the Junior School and the positive impact of our twenty-year Sixth Form partnership with The Ladies’ College. Years 9-11 remain boys only as we take a phased approach to the introduction of the coeducational model.  

The Upper School offers a wide variety of subjects with most students taking between nine and eleven GCSEs. At Sixth Form (ages 16-18), we work in an academic partnership with The Ladies’ College in order to offer a broad curriculum and to flexibly accommodate the A level choices of our students.

Beyond the classroom, there are extensive opportunities for students to become involved in Sport, Music, Drama, STEM activities, trips and tours, the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and many other activities. 

Elizabeth College is proud of its academic record but we feel strongly that a successful school experience is about much more than examination certificates. We celebrate all of the talents of our students and look to support and guide them as children and young people through to adulthood.

Elizabeth College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people, and follows Safer Recruitment procedures. The successful applicant will be required to satisfy our standard employment checks, including the completion of a DBS Enhanced Disclosure check.

We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion.
