Welcome to Ellern Mede Schools

At Ellern Mede Schools, we believe that every child has the right to a high-quality education. For 20 years our schools have served the needs of some of the most vulnerable children and young people, helping them to re-engage with learning.

We take great pride in providing a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where children and young people can feel confident in their abilities, find their passion for learning, and reach their fullest potential as both individuals and as part of a community.

As Heads of Site, we believe passionately that education and health are inseparable from one another, and our schools are guided by the understanding that teaching and learning must be situated in a holistic framework that considers the broader needs of each student. As such, each of our schools has access to a high-quality team of specialists in their respective fields. Additionally, we work collaboratively with Local Authorities, families and other agencies. All of this enables us to support every child’s individual needs through specific tailor-made education. 

The Ellern Mede Schools group is comprised of three different schools, across a total of five different sites. Our oldest school, the Ofsted “outstanding” Ellern Mede School, is located in North London, and is composed of three different sites: Ridgeway, Barnet, and Orange Tree.
