Welcome to Eltham College

Eltham College is set in 42 acres of playing fields

All parents want the best experience for their children and at Eltham College we aim to provide the right environment for that to happen. Our size means that we know all the children well and we are able to value them as individuals. All the pupils get a chance to take part, individual talents are nurtured and developed, and everyone (including the parents) enjoys a sense of belonging.

We are committed to academic achievement of the highest standards, but our yardstick is always the individual's potential. Our pupils are encouraged to perform at their highest level both academically and in the breadth of school life whether that be sport, music, art or drama. There is scope for everyone to realize that potential.

Eltham College is a medium sized school of about 620 pupils in the Senior School and 200 in the Junior School; it is not too big to be large and impersonal, yet the facilities are excellent, and the school has a feeling of quality about it.

Having boys only below the Sixth Form enables us to concentrate on what boys do well, while the co-educational Sixth Form provides the ideal environment to prepare for the next step towards university and life beyond Eltham: this really is the best of both worlds.

Our aim is to give our pupils a well-rounded experience so that they can face the next challenge, whatever that might be.
