Elm Park is a two-form entry primary school. Aspiring to be the best we can be! Our vision is all about providing the best for our pupils, parents, and staff. Through high expectations, and providing our pupils with excellent role models, we aim to grow good people people who care deeply about each other and who have a curiosity and passion for lifelong learning, and can confidently take their place as global citizens in an ever-changing world.
We strongly believe in preparing our children for their future, and the use of technology to support their learning is an important part of this. ICT runs through the heart of our school curriculum, and our pupils are taught to use technology to enhance and support their independent learning.
Our overall aim is to be the very best school we can be, as we believe it’s every child’s first chance at formal education and they deserve nothing but the best. Through our school, we aim to grow 'good' people who are inspired and excited to make a difference in their lives and the lives of those around them.
Our school motto is Aspiring to be the best we can be. Our school Values support the development of the whole child. The ethos of our school is built on a foundation of core values which are addressed directly through lessons, assemblies, and across the whole curriculum.
Each half term we focus on a particular Value. We learn to understand what the Value looks like and how we can demonstrate the Value, in the way we behave, in our attitude towards each other, and our learning. Parents are encouraged to develop the monthly Value at home and have the opportunity to nominate their child for displaying the Value.
Here at Elm Park Primary School, we aim to be a community where everyone is treated fairly and with respect. We take our legal duties on equality very seriously. We welcome our general duty under the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity, and to foster good relations.
Elm Park Primary School is committed to providing an appropriate and high-quality education to all the children living in our local area. We believe that all children, including those identified as having a special educational need or a disability (SEND), have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.
We believe that all children should be equally valued in school. We will strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination and to develop an environment where all children can flourish and feel safe. Elm Park Primary School aims to include everyone and values diversity, as we aspire to be the best we can be.
When our children have difficulties which means that they need additional support or provision, it can be very frightening and confusing. Parents and carers often worry about how they will make sure their child gets the right services and support.
