A Warm Welcome from The Headmaster

A Warm Welcome from the
Headmaster, Ed Lyddon

The Elms is a school like no other. Since 1614, it has nestled into the western slopes of the Malvern Hills. I believe something magical happens to a child’s education in this idyllic setting. Children enjoy countless opportunities to engage with the outdoors. They build camps, ride, climb trees, work on the farm, play in the stream, and enjoy a proper childhood.

A dedicated team of staff know every child as an individual. We understand what makes each one ‘tick’. Small class sizes, flexible boarding, and a family ethos add to our greenhouse atmosphere, and the children flourish.

My vision is for every child to become the very best version of themselves, whether that be on stage, in the art or DT rooms, playing music, on the sports pitches, or in the boarding house.

I feel immensely privileged to be the headmaster here. I would be delighted to meet you and learn about your family and to talk to you about this extraordinary school.
