The Elms School

The Elms, founded by Humphry Walwyn in 1614, is situated in truly beautiful countryside in the Malvern foothills. It is the oldest prep school in the country that remains on its original site.

Academically, The Elms achieves outstanding results, though the main emphasis is one of a happy balanced family, based on Christian values within a safe and secure structure.

The Elms aims to foster an enthusiasm for life, to develop self-confidence and good manners, to enhance the talents of the individual and to generate an appreciation of others and our environment. Above all, the school values individual effort.

"The school is most successful in achieving its aim to provide a friendly, caring environment where every pupil achieves their academic and physical potential. From the EYFS onwards, pupils are very well educated and achieve high standards in both their learning and personal development."
