From the moment your child joins us, whether in Little Elms or later in the school, we will work to identify their strengths and areas for development to support accelerated progress in their learning.
Our commitment to small class sizes means our pupil-teacher relationships are strong. We use high-quality, diagnostic assessments to ensure our teaching is driven by a precise evidence base.
We work hard to ensure your child’s learning journey is optimal at every stage by responding rapidly to emerging trends and behaviours. We use rigorous data monitoring to track every child’s progress over time, so we can take action as required, and report to parents. Our pupils make accelerated progress, as our small class sizes and personalised approach allows our highly skilled teaching team to nurture individual needs, interests and talents.
Curriculum
Our integrated curriculum is broad and balanced and delivered in innovative ways to provide appropriate stretch and challenge to every pupil. We believe in inspiring and engaging children so they take ownership over their learning. This leads to exceptional 11+ results, which are a by-product of the education that we offer, rather than the exclusive focus. We ensure pupils are encouraged and challenged to aim high, providing them with everything they need to excel and be the best they can be.
Specialist teachers and form teachers work together to provide inspiring learning environments for our young learners to thrive in. Our dedicated art room, music room, three libraries and STEM room allow children to explore their interests in greater depth.
Throughout our pupils’ time with us at Elmhurst, they build confidence and grow in their personal, social and emotional wellbeing. They develop their character, able to make the right choices and contribute confidently in our rapidly changing world. An Elmhurst education develops compassionate young people who care for themselves, their loved ones, their communities and the wider world. Kindness and respect are two of our school values and signal the importance we place on building strong positive relationships in all aspects of life.
The Journey to 11+
At Elmhurst, we are extremely proud of our pupils’ outcomes at 11+ and we strive to ensure children achieve their very best and find the optimal senior school environment.
Elmhurst pupils secure scholarships at elite senior schools and places at some of the best grammar schools in the country. Our relationships with local schools are strong, and feedback from next schools about Elmhurst pupils is outstanding.
