The English National Curriculum is highly regarded around the world for its rigour and quality. At ELPS your child/children will develop a global outlook and a level of education that can support their future goals and dreams.

In FS1 and FS2 girls and boys will be taught co-educationally with girls and boys taught together in every class. From Y5 onwards girls and boys will be taught separately.

Our family-focused approach is central to everything that we do, providing the best educational experience for our students and parents, through a personalised and collaborative approach with our exceptional teachers. Together we develop the skills and qualities for students to lead and shape their own direction in life.
