​Eliot Wong, Headteacher

Mr Wong has always liked science, technology and taking examinations.  After graduating from Kings College London with a mathematics and computing degree he spent an enjoyable year in Birmingham learning circus skills and how to teach secondary school children.  Skills that came in handy in Australia when he juggled jobs teaching rugby and mathematics during the week and working at the fairground in Sydney at weekends.  He still loves travelling but refuses to live anywhere without a tube and thinks that London is the best city in the world!

​David White, Deputy Headteacher

Mr White graduated from the University of Swansea with a BA (Hons) degree in Geography.  He trained as a teacher at the University of Wales (PGCE). He is also a keen traveller and has lived and worked in Japan and Australia.

Mia Pye, Deputy Headteacher

Ms Pye graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BA (Hons) in English Literature.  After travelling the world, a spell working in HR and a job in IT, she realised that the office life wasn't for her and trained to be a teacher.  She trained at the Institute of Education, London and it was there that she obtained both her PGCE and Masters in Education, specialising in aspects of Teaching and Learning.  Ms Pye is Deputy Headteacher with specific responsibility for Academic Excellence, and is passionate about offering all students the very best opportunities for learning in the classroom. Teaching English at Elthorne is still her favourite part of the job and she especially enjoys teaching Shakespeare. ​

Prior to working at Elthorne, he was an Advanced Skills Teacher and Lead Practitioner for the SSAT. In his younger days, when not performing as a tricky left winger on the football pitch, spinning vinyl or playing bass guitar, he spent much of his time hugging trees and saving protected meadowland species. A teacher of Science and Health & Social Care, he has a responsibility for developing Teaching & Learning at Elthorne and likes nothing more than teaching pupils the Latin names of plants on the field at lunchtimes, mistakenly thinking it’s a cool thing to do.

After serving for a year as a Student's Union sabbatical officer representing students' interests he returned to London and qualified as a History teacher.

Katy Reeves, Assistant Headteacher

Ms Reeves graduated with a BA (Hons) in Politics and International Relations. She is our SENDCo.
Believing that her future was in politics she completed a Masters in Politics. Following an internship she realised that the only way to ensure the future generation voted and took part was to be involved in education and since then has never looked back. She is Assistant Headteacher for SEND, Pupil Premium and oversees the Alternative Resource Provision. She teaches Government and Politics and Religious Education. Having lived and worked in Ealing her whole life she feels there is no better place to be unless it is walking her dog along the south coast. 

Matthew Myers, Assistant Headteacher

Mr Myers graduated from Bournemouth University with a BSc (Hons) degree in Environmental Protection before moving to America to coach football (soccer!) in New York. On his return to England he studied the art of teaching at the University of Bath and now teaches future generations about the importance of oxbow lakes and longshore drift in Geography, successfully combining educational knowledge with really bad jokes. Mr Myers is Assistant Headteacher for Aspiration, Behaviour and Culture and he is adamant that every child should have an equal opportunity to be successful.
