Elstree School is an English preparatory school for boys 3-13 and girls 3-7 based at Woolhampton House in Woolhampton, near Newbury in the English county of Berkshire.
As its name suggests, the school was founded in 1848 in Elstree, Hertfordshire, at Hill House on Elstree Hill, an 18th-century Grade II Listed Building. Today the building is used as Bupa Care Centre.
With the approach of the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1938, Elstree School was evacuated to Woolhampton House in the Berkshire village of Woolhampton, and has remained there ever since.
Woolhampton House is a 17th-century Grade II* Listed building.
