Find Out MoreThe Elms in a nutshell
Our mission is to provide an inspirational environment where children will become the best versions of themselves.
We seek to achieve this by providing an inspirational start to the children’s education that preserves the magic of childhood in a rapidly-changing world, paving the way for an aspirational future.
Elms pupils are renowned for their ‘can do’ attitude, their eagerness to have a go, and their willingness embrace failure as an essential mindset for growth.
Set in 40 glorious acres of Herefordshire countryside, The Elms is a rural idyll, where our greenhouse approach to education enables every child to flourish.
We would be delighted to welcome you for a visit, to see for yourselves what we can offer for your child. In the meantime, our video will give you a glimpse of our school and its ethos.
“A children’s paradise – like something out of Enid Blyton”

Past Pupil
“I loved being a pupil at The Elms! It is the best school I could have hoped to attend. It set me up for life, got me a scholarship to my chosen senior school and I made friends with people who I am still in touch with now.”
