Elstree School is a English preparatory school. As its name suggests, the school was originally founded in the London suburb of Elstree in 1848. With the outbreak of the second world war, Elstree School was evacuated to Woolhampton House in the Berkshire village of Woolhampton, and has remained there ever since.[1][2]
