The College and Family have grown considerably over recent years: there are now over 1400 pupils across the three schools, and places are heavily oversubscribed. Eltham places an equal emphasis on academic, pastoral and co-curricular excellence and has an outstanding reputation in all three areas, as well as for the friendly, unpretentious nature of daily life.
