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.
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.
