Set in 150 acres of idyllic West Berkshire countryside, Elstree is also home to childhood fun and adventure. The school nurtures a strong belief in ‘children remaining children’ for as long as they can.
The school aims high for pupils and is proud of both outstanding Common Entrance results and an excellent Scholarship record. Pupils go on to top UK senior schools including Bradfield, Downe House, Eton, Marlborough, Radley, Wellington and Winchester.

With a tremendous spirit of ‘giving things a go’, Elstree places emphasis on nurturing unique talents and fulfilling individual potential. Sporting and co-curricular opportunities are second to none; the grounds include woodland, lakes, parkland and arguably some of the finest sports pitches in Berkshire; an idyllic setting for outdoor fun and camaraderie with friends.
Elstree takes great pride in the character of its pupils; the boys and girls are recognised for their positive approach to hard work, their kindness to others and an upbeat curiosity and confidence that enables them to make the most of opportunities – and crucially, see the fun in life.
With independence, good organisation skills and positive decision-making all hallmark traits of Elstree boarders, boarding is in high demand. Families from London enjoy seeing their children flourish in the countryside, and many local families take up the option for flexi-boarding; they know their children will thrive when they move on to senior school.
In today’s world, there are sadly few schools that will remain truly independent. Elstree can look forward with confidence. Buoyant pupil numbers, exceptional staff and a loyal and supportive parent body ensure that this school will continue to provide a first-rate education and childhood opportunities that are second to none.
