Things to note

  • They focus on rugby, football, hockey, cricket, swimming, netball and gym in lessons; in co-curriculum students can also take part in judo, basketball, fencing, horse riding and tennis.
  • Eltham College is well known for its high-quality, diverse music making and this begins in the Junior School where they nurture every student’s music ability from their individual starting point; whether that is from scratch or pupils who have been learning prior to joining.
  • Students love to act and immerse themselves in different characters. In addition to their curriculum Drama, they offer opportunities across all year groups to take part in plays and productions, in order to promote and enhance the craft of acting, presenting and public speaking.
  • Students are boundlessly curious and energetic so they love clubs, societies and co-curricular activities. This is their chance to take a part in a play, try fencing, join the brass ensemble, train with the Senior School’s professional sports coaches, or design an electric car.
