The Elms School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Elms School is a co-educational, independent, boarding, prep school located in Colwall, Herefordshire, England, at the foot of the Malvern Hills. Including its pre-prep department, it caters for children from 2½ to 13 years old. Its facilities include a school farm.

The Elms was founded in 1614 by Humphrey Walwyn of the Worshipful Company of Grocers, and claims to be the oldest prep school still on its original site. It maintains close links with the Grocers' Company, and receives financial assistance from the company's charitable arm.
