Parents like
- A strong fit for families who want a selective co-educational day school with visible academic ambition, strong values and a broad enough culture to avoid feeling one dimensional.
Admissions
Eltham College's admissions process is highly organised, clearly selective and very used to handling multiple entry points at 7+, 8+, 11+ and 16+. The school gives the impression of strong systems supporting a serious academic culture.
Scholarships
Scholarships and bursaries are a meaningful part of the offer, with specific criteria published rather than left vague. That supports the impression of a school that takes both excellence and access seriously.
Bursaries
Eltham College says its bursaries are means-tested and are offered to applicants who meet the College’s high academic entry standards but could not otherwise afford the fees.
- The official admissions page says bursary applications are accepted only for Year 7 and Year 12 entry.
- The official admissions page confirms means-tested bursaries, but no standard remission range is published.
- Families should complete the College’s bursary application process alongside admissions and provide financial evidence as requested.
Inspection snapshot
The overall picture is strong because the school explains scholarships, bursaries and entry routes in detail. Families therefore have something concrete to work from before they even begin comparing day-to-day feel.
