Elleray School is situated within a ten minute walk of Lake Windermere and the Fells. The main house is surrounded by its own large grounds and fields (we have an adventure playground and swimming pool) and the environment plays a central part in the development of the children and teachers at the School.
We are looking for children of average and above academic ability who show an intelligent awareness, curiosity, enthusiasm and a sense of humour and we offer, in return, the chance to achieve their potential across the board.
Every child has his/her own formroom and class teacher who teaches Mathematics and English. Specialist subject teachers take P.E., Science, Art, Music, History, French, Design and Technology, and Environmental Science.
There is a full activity programme after school, (e.g dance classes, orchestra, choir, Science and Stamp and Computer Clubs, riding, drama, cookery, art, scenery painting, athletics, tennis coaching, calligraphy, gardening), and every weekend includes outings to theatres, museums and art galleries, or camping, fell walking, youth hostelling, swimming, or school based activities such as music and dance workshops, cooking, drama, hobbies etcetera. We opened a Day Nursery in September 1995 and it has proved a highly successful addition to the School and is full.
Elleray is five minutes from Windermere station and children are escorted both to trains and aeroplanes leaving from Manchester Airport.
