EDUCATION

AN EDUCATION FOR LIVING LIFE

WE LIVE IN CHALLENGING TIMES , BUT THE NEED TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE START IN LIFE FOR CHILDREN REMAINS VITAL , SAYS GUY SANDERSON , HEADMASTER AT ELTHAM COLLEGE .
Instilling not just a solid academic base , but also ensuring that boys and girls can develop and flourish and discover their strengths , talents and passions to help them thrive throughout their lives both as children and adults has never been more important .
To help achieve this , choosing the right school for your children is something that many of you devote considerable time and consideration to – scanning websites , attending open days , talking to other parents and , hopefully , taking into account the instincts and views of your children in your decision . But what makes a school the right one for your child ?
There are many factors and preferences to take into account such as location , size , academic curriculum and cocurricular opportunities on offer , and the quality of its pastoral care . At Eltham College , we seek to offer a warm and inclusive educational experience . We are academically selective and provide an outstanding , well-rounded education with stimulating academic and co-curricular provision ; we also strive to offer a caring environment with strong pastoral support .
We aim to be a place where students develop a positive approach to life and to each other , adopting values that will help them to succeed not just at school but also to lead happy and fulfilling lives as adults . It is this combination that has led us to become recognised in various award wins and to be named ‘ London Independent School of the Year 2024 ’ by The Sunday Times ’ Parent Power survey .
