What The Good Schools Guide says..
Great facilities include a bright and accessible library managed by parent volunteers; a kidney-shaped hall with full lighting rig for drama productions and a recently renovated science lab. Entry at 7+ is selective, a process described by one parent as ‘kind but robust’ and almost all pupils transfer to the College for year 7. Tutoring still happens as some parents...
What the school says...
Eltham College Junior School is situated just three minutes’ walk along the path from the Senior School and is set in its own playing fields. It has been able to maintain its own distinctive character and identity, while at the same time benefiting from sharing many of the excellent Senior School facilities. The pupils' transfer to the Senior School is also eased with the establishments of these links.
Respect, trust and care are the cornerstones of our community. In our secure and stimulating environment students meet new challenges, are encouraged to excel and enjoy productive relationships with each other and staff, allowing them to become well-rounded personalities. A very strong partnership exists between home and school and plays a vital part in establishing the right principles for all children to understand.
Please note from September 2020 Eltham College will be welcoming girls for entry into Year 3 and 7, as well as our existing Sixth Form entry. ...Read more

Interim head, Richard Lock, previously London Oratory, Wetherby Prep and The Hampshire School (Chelsea). He feels his role, during the current head’s maternity leave, is largely to maintain the status quo but also hopes ‘to leave the school in an even better position’ than when he arrived. Expect to see a little tweaking in terms of digital resources, including AI, and aspects of wellbeing. ‘He is great. Really great,’ a parent told us, ‘he feels like a safe pair of hands.’ Head is enjoying ‘getting out and talking to parents’ and interacting with, and inspiring, the children. To that end, he ‘pops into lessons’ and will happily cover for staff when needed. ‘He’s really nice. He talks to us,’ one pupil explained.
Entrance
Main intake at 7+, three forms, largely from local pre-preps and state...
