Elstree School

The school provides a School Listener, School Counsellor, mental-health experts, and referrals for one-to-one support.

“Beyond our School Nurse and Matrons, we also provide a School Listener and School Counsellor. Our team of Mental Health experts work close with our Learning Development Department and where extra care is required, pupils can be referred for one-to-one support.”

The school says it gets to know each pupil individually and adapts its care to their particular strengths, aspirations, needs and concerns.

“Every child at Elstree has their own unique character; strengths and aspirations; needs and concerns. We have an outstanding ability to get to know each child, to recognise these traits and adapt our care for each boy and girl – whether they are with us for shorter days in Nursery, or weekly boarding with us in Year 8.”

The school says small classes help ensure that every child receives care and attention.

“Expert teachers and small class sizes ensure that each child gets the very best care and attention.”

A staff leadership role covers co-curricular provision and outdoor education.

Pupils support local charities through donations, gifts for children facing hardship, and individual charitable activities.

“Our pupils join us in giving back to the wider community and supporting local charities, from making Food Bank donations, to gifting shoeboxes of thoughtful presents to children facing hardship at Christmas. Pupils also undertake their own individual charitable endeavours throughout the year.”

The school describes a family-first community guided by kindness, respect and good manners.

“Being here is to be part of a community, one in which family comes first and we abide by the simple and traditional values of treating each other with kindness, respect and good manners.”
