About

The Elstree Magic Elstree is an incredibly special school; it has been a pleasure and a privilege to have been Headmaster here for over 10 years – and with the unstinting support of my wife, Olivia, we look forward to leading the school together for many more years to come.

We are lucky to be surrounded by beautiful grounds, exceptional staff and the good company of our pupils who make Elstree such a unique place. Being here is to be part of a community, one in which family comes first and we abide by the simple and traditional values of treating each other with kindness, respect and good manners.

Children remain children for as long as they can at Elstree. Inspiring curiosity, we foster a love of learning, and with support and encouragement, boys and girls are challenged to work hard and to realise the very best of their potential.

There may well be setbacks, pitfalls or disappointment but there will also be great fun, triumph and adventure – lessons that build fortitude and character that later become nostalgic memories of a happy and purposeful childhood.
