Welcome to Elthorne Park High School
Welcome to Elthorne Park High School. We are a proud community school with the very highest aspirations for our young people.At Elthorne Park our students enjoy fantastic academic success and leave us to go on to some incredible destinations, many going on to exciting courses at Russell Group universities; but we are about far more than just results or university places.We see our role here to be to nurture and develop young people who embody our values, known to everyone here as our ‘5 Ps.’We want our students to be proud, to take pride in their work, in their conduct around school and in their appearance. We want them to be prepared; prepared for every lesson and prepared to succeed in the wide range of courses available to them here at Elthorne Park. It’s important to us that our young people are principled, that they can articulate their opinions and stand up for what is right. We want them to persevere when learning is challenging and not give up, and we want them to participate in all of the wider opportunities available to them at EPHS, whether that’s extra-curricular activities, sports teams, trips, clubs or performances.I hope that our website gives you a useful insight into what a wonderful place Elthorne Park High School is and we go about fulfilling our mission statement ‘Achieving Excellence in a Learning Community.’ Our school is a highly academic yet compassionate and caring learning environment where students and staff can develop and realise their full potential.Steve WardHeadteacher
