The admission number for Elmhurst in 2024 is 420 pupils for Reception to Year 6. The school's published admission number is 60 per year group. Each year group is made up for two classes. We expect the Reception admission number in September 2025 to be 60 pupils.
The policies listed below set out the school's arrangements for allocating places to pupils who apply for a school place during a particular year.
Where there is an over-subscription the school's admission policy is applied, and applicants are placed on the waiting list held by Buckinghamshire Council.
Elmhurst School participates in the Buckinghamshire co-ordinated admissions scheme. Full details on how to apply for school places through this scheme are outlined below. This includes children starting school for the first time or for in-year applications.
