Word From The Head

Mrs Vicky Pritt-Roberts


As the Head of Ellesmere College, I'm delighted that you are looking at Ellesmere for your children.

Ellesmere College is part of the Woodard Schools, the largest group of independent Church of England schools in England and Wales, formed in 1848. Ellesmere's total commitment to developing individuals, enabling them to be successful human beings, is something that genuinely marks it out from the vast majority of other schools.

The Ellesmere community is a wide one, and to have the opportunity to work with all its constituents: pupils, past pupils, parents and past parents, teaching, non-teaching staff, and governors, all of whom contribute to making Ellesmere such a wonderful place to work and to study.

Families who visit Ellesmere comment on what an incredibly friendly place it is, on its great atmosphere: whilst this is always lovely to hear, we do not take this for granted.

One of the many great things about Ellesmere, is that it is also a very exciting place in which to work. Things do not really stand still here for very long and there is always some innovation that we are considering. Ellesmere College always looks to the future, we can always strive for better, and leading the desire for constant improvement makes the role stimulating and highly enjoyable.

I trust you will enjoy taking a look around our website but, even more importantly, that you will come and visit, meet our staff and meet our students, whom we rightly feel are the best advert for Ellesmere and the remarkable young people that develop at the school.

We feel Ellesmere has encouraged our children to grasp every opportunity and make the most of life.

Ellesmere has made a huge contribution to the success that my children enjoy. I ask my children to do their best, no more, no less. Ellesmere has helped them achieve more than they ever thought possible.  

Emily Palmer- Student


My parent first heard of Ellesmere as a highly recommended boarding school for military children. As we looked for a school that pushed students further both academically and outside of the curriculum, Ellesmere ticked all the boxes. Then on my taster day everyone was so welcoming and friendly, I...

I was introduced to Ellesmere College at a higher education evening at The Corbet School where I realised that Ellesmere far exceeded other sixth forms. I was nominated for, and won, the Silver Cross Academic Scholarship, which was created by Mr. Alan Halsall, himself an Old Ellesmerian. I know...

When I started at Ellesmere, I was quite nervous on my journey to school. Everything would be a brand new beginning for me. But thanks to the warm hearted teachers and students, I got used to the foreign environment quickly. When I meet a difficulty, the teachers are reliable friends - they...
