An important part of our response to Covid has been to introduce our fifth ‘P’ - participate - and to make up for missed cultural, sporting and outdoor learning experiences during the pandemic. During our Elthorne Wider Opportunities Days (EWOD) every student attends at least one off-site trip per school year; this is fully funded for our disadvantaged students and children in receipt of free school meals are given priority booking for popular off-site trips.

Offering a wide range of opportunities for student leadership is a key priority at Elthorne. We believe strongly that the benefits of student leadership are wide and varied. At Elthorne Park High School we recognise that every student has the potential to be a successful leader. By integrating student leadership principles into many areas of school life, we ensure that opportunities are created for all of our students to experience these principles and practices. These will improve their leadership skills, benefitting their school life and beyond.

Our sporting offer has supported many young people to compete at the highest level in their chosen sport while being firmly rooted in an ethos of ‘sport for all’ where boys’ and girls’ sport are valued equally.
