Eltham College is a co-educational independent day school. We are committed to giving each child an outstanding education, a positive approach and values that will steer them throughout their life.
As one of the leading independent schools in the UK academic standards are high and entrance is by selection based on academic merit and on an assessment of the student’s likely positive contribution to the College. The majority of students join us at one of our key entry points (7+, 11+, or 16+). We do occasionally have spaces for entry into our other year groups, subject to availability and waiting lists.
Scholarships are open to all and can be applied for when entering the Senior School in Year 7 or Sixth Form. Bursaries may also be awarded to those Senior School and Sixth Form parents who need financial assistance.
Registration for 2026 entry is now open, please click here to register. The registration fee is £234 (including VAT).
If you’d like to come visit the school at one of our Open Days, please visit this page for further details.
Occasional Places
Eltham College is typically full in most year groups and it is unusual for us to be able to consider new students outside of our formal entry points (7+, 11+ and 16+).
However, vacancies do occasionally arise in Years 3, 4 and 5 at the Junior School, and Years 7, 8 and 9 in the Senior School. (We do not take students in transfer or examination years). If you are looking for an entry point other than 7+, 11+, or 16+, or looking for entry any time other than September, please contact the Admissions team to discuss availability of places before completing the registration form: [email protected].
