History
The
school
was found in 1891 by Ellis Kadoorie, an Indian Jewish who was knighted in 1917.
The school was originally called 'The Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians'. It was
the first school in Hong Kong where Hindi and Urdu languages were included in
the school curriculum. During the Second World War, the school was closed like
many schools in Hong Kong. After the war, Ellis Kadoorie School was re-opened
in 1946 with AM (English) and PM (Chinese) sessions. In 1960, the school was renamed
as Sir Ellis Kadoorie School. The P.M. session was closed in 1975 and the school
commenced operating as a whole day school. The school was extended to Form Five
in 1978. In 1980 it was separated into Primary and Secondary and the majority
of the primary graduates were promoted to Sir Ellis Kadoorie Secondary School.
Due to the increased demand for more places in both Primary and Secondary, the
Secondary School was moved to West Kowloon in 2000. The Primary School has occupied
the whole school premises since then.
