Eltham College has been recognised in The Cricketer magazine’s prestigious list of the Top 100 UK schools for cricket. Judged against criteria which included a compelling commitment to cricket in the curriculum, facilities, coaching and outreach programmes, the accolade reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional coaching and opportunities for every student.
Marc Edwards, Director of Sport, said:
“Sport at Eltham College is about providing opportunity for all as well as striving for excellence. We are extremely lucky with our outstanding facilities and ground staff that allow us to run such an extensive co-educational cricket programme. To be recognised by The Cricketer reflects the consistently excellent cricketing opportunities we offer to students all year round at Eltham College, where cricket will continue to flourish due to the strength and depth of our passionate coaching staff.
