Elstree School was a feeder for Harrow School, and in its early days, had a strongintellectual background with figures such as Joseph Conrad and John Galsworthy who were 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.
