Elm Green School History

Elm Green School was founded in 1944 by Mary Tubbs who started the school with just 5 children, including her son. As the school developed various sites were used including a house at Elm Green in Danbury, from which the school takes its name. In 1952 the school moved permanently to its present location where some of the old farm buildings including an historic, thatched tithe barn are still in use. The school continued to flourish under the leadership of Elisabeth Mimpriss, the daughter of Mary Tubbs.

Ann Milner took over the role of Principal at the school in March 2003. She is a member of the IAPS (The Independent Association of Prep Schools) and the school is accredited by The Independent Schools’ Council. (ISC)

Elm Green is a thriving, friendly and happy community where children are valued for their individuality and it is renowned for its high academic standards and excellent pastoral care.
