Our results for this year have been remarkable with all 11 students in Year 6 gaining a place at a highly regarded grammar school or senior school of choice.
An Elmhurst education is one that ensures excellent academic progression, while also developing character so your child is well prepared for life in senior education and beyond.
We are a non-selective school with a track record of academic excellence, with children achieving places in some of the most sought-after schools in south-east England. This is achieved through a clear, structured approach to 11+, which begins the moment your child enters the school.
Being a small and nurturing school, we have the advantage of knowing every child well. This supports personalisation and highly adaptive teaching, leading to accelerated progress to maximise every pupil’s potential.
We work in partnership with parents to establish the best route for their child. Over many years, we have seen consistent success, with the vast majority of pupils securing places either at selective independent or grammar schools. We are extremely proud to share the outstanding outcomes of our pupils.
Please see the results from previous years:
Senior school destinations vary depending on the cohort, however, Whitgift and Trinity have frequently been popular choices. Other destinations include Caterham School and Dulwich College
As for grammars, many of our children successfully achieve sought-after places at Wilson’s School, Wallington County Grammar School and Sutton Grammar School.
As our Elmhurst girls reach Year 6, we anticipate independent girls schools such as Croydon High and Sutton High being among the preferred choices as well as Trinity School, which is shortly moving to fully co-educational from Year 7. Grammar school options for girls include Wallington High School for Girls and Nonsuch High School for Girls, which are part of the Sutton grammar school group.
Our aim is to nurture your child so they become a rounded individual with the academic edge. We work in close partnership with you throughout your time at Elmhurst to make sure you are supported in making the best decisions for your child and provide them with the best chance to flourish.
