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.

Not that they have a shortage of other things to discuss, with Mrs M giving us one of the longest list of hobbies and interests we’ve ever been privy to – travel to far-flung places including Iran and Galapagos, swimming, hiking, yoga, playing cello, photography, watercolour painting, theatre and opera. Oh, and did we mention she’s an avid reader too? Most recently, Ponti...
