We had another action packed Open Evening here at Elthorne. Students and parents got to experience virtual reality, escape rooms, banana pancakes, robots and so much more! We can't wait to meet our new Elthorne students again next year.

If you didn’t get the results you wanted, this might feel like a defining moment in your life, but it is just one step in a much bigger journey. There is so much potential in your future. Your grades do not determine what you are capable of. And they never will. #ResultsDay
