Elstree School celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2023. This is a revised history of the school which gives a lively account of the extraordinary Sanderson family who ran it for 1 00 years, the other teachers who made it special and which celebrates some of its distinguished old boys. Elstree was a feeder for Harrow, and in its early days, had a strong intellectual background with figures such as Joseph Conrad and John Galsworthy frequent visitors to the school. The book explains the ethos of study, Christian faith, high sporting achievement and good manners that have long given the school its special quality, and brings the story right up to the present day.
