Elmhurst School

Elmhurst School Elmhurst School is an independent day school based in South Croydon, for girls and boys aged 3-11

At Elmhurst, our aim is to develop well rounded individuals who learn to question, analyse and appreciate the world around them. Our dynamic and creative curriculum allows every boy to develop his own unique strengths and interests. Our nurturing yet purposeful learning environment means that boys develop not only their mental and physical abilities, but also appreciate the value of good manners, honesty and consideration for others. We are very proud of our academic results, with boys obtaining scholarships and places at notable Independent and Grammar Schools.

🎶 Year 5 Showcase Spotlight! 🎶

We’re so proud of one of our Year 5 girls who created and showcased this fantastic project, “Music: An Emotional Stressbuster – The Survey Says It All!” 💙🎵

Her project explores the powerful connection between music, emotions and wellbeing, using survey results to investigate how music can affect mood, reduce stress and help us manage our emotions. The display looks at questions such as whether different genres influence our mood, whether music affects our emotions, and whether music can be an effective way to reduce stress.

Her findings show just how many people feel that music plays an important role in their emotional wellbeing. 🎧✨

A wonderful example of our Year 5 pupils using research, data collection and creativity to explore a meaningful topic and share their learning with others. Well done! 👏🌟

Vihaan, you rock!

As part of National Poetry Day today, Bellevue ran a competition across all of our schools with over 400 entries in which children had to write and perform a poem on the theme, 'Wonder'. Huge congratulations to Alessio (Y4) and Ahaskar (Y6) who made it into the finals and were both commended for their pieces. We are very proud to announce that Vihaan (Y4) was the runner up in the Y5-7 age category with his poem 'I am a Rock' and was also the overall runner up across the whole competition (against all 400 pupils from Early years to Year 11!). His poem is available here for you to listen to.👏🏅

🗣️ Girls’ Council in action! 💙

Today, our Girls’ Council came together to share their voices, ideas and suggestions about life at Elmhurst. They discussed the things that matter to them, ideas they would like to see considered, and how their views can help shape positive changes across our school.

It was wonderful to see our girls speaking confidently, listening to one another and sharing their ideas. 🌟

We’re proud to give our pupils a voice and create opportunities for them to play an active role in making Elmhurst an even better place for everyone. 💙

⚽ ISFA Surrey Sevens at Aberdour School ⚽

What a day for Elmhurst! Not only did they enjoy some fantastic football, but they also had the very special opportunity to meet England stars Raheem Sterling and Ashley Cole! 🌟

The standard of football was extremely high, and the boys gave a great account of themselves throughout – one win, one draw and two closely fought defeats.

A brilliant experience and a huge well done to everyone who represented Elmhurst! 👏⚽🏆

🏹✨ **ROBIN HOOD – WHAT A SUMMER MASTERCLASS!** 🎭

What an incredible time we had at our **Summer Drama Masterclass: Robin Hood!** 🌳🏹

Our young performers spent the day exploring characters, building confidence, developing their acting skills and bringing the legendary tale of Robin Hood to life through drama, games, movement and improvisation.

And, of course, we finished with a fantastic **showcase for family and friends**, giving everyone the chance to see all their hard work come together on stage! 🎬👏

We’re so proud of every single performer who took part. From Sherwood Forest adventures to bold characters and brilliant performances, it was a truly magical day! ❤️

A huge well done to everyone involved — **you were all absolutely brilliant!** 🌟

Once an Elmhurstian, always an Elmhurstian. 💙✨
