Head's welcome

Elmhurst is a hidden gem, nestled in the bustling South London borough of Croydon, with a richly diverse school community, brimming with warmth and care.

Embracing a growth mindset and a commitment to empower all learners with the skills required to achieve, at Elmhurst our mission is to nurture the potential in every child, something we have been doing for over 150 years.

We lay the foundations for a happy and successful future through forward-thinking educational excellence and a commitment to doing the best we can, for ourselves and those around us. An Elmhurst education offers a broad curriculum, extracurricular clubs and enrichment events. It is centered around excellent, friendly learning in a supportive environment designed to shape confident young men and woman who care deeply about themselves, their families and the world around them and who move on from us with a strong belief in their own ability to thrive.

When the time comes to advance to senior school, you and your son or daughter will have a strong understanding of the right next steps – we will support and guide you through the 11+ process to that end.
