Welcome to Elmhurst Prep School Founded in 1869
Our aim is to deliver 11+ preparation in a supportive environment that develops character and confidence, laying the foundations for success in the wider world. Our learners are encouraged to be kind, curious, respectful, determined and brave.
From small classes and specialist teaching to accelerated learning and booster classes, our academic sights are firmly on 11+ exam success. Preparing for grammar school entry as well as for highly selective independent schools in the local area and beyond, we are proud of the exceptional results our pupils achieve. Have a look at our 2024 results here.
Nestled in the heart of South Croydon, we are a small school with great ambition. The breadth of opportunities available to our pupils belies our size and is thanks to being part of a highly successful group of schools as well the strong and successful partnerships we have forged locally, making great use of best in class facilities.
In moving to a coeducational model, we do so with a continued commitment to value each individual and create the best opportunities for them to thrive.
Go on, be brave! Come and see what an Elmhurst education has to offer your son or daughter.
