About

We are a two-form entry local community Primary School situated in the heart of Lambeth, where all children work hard every day to use our Elm Wood Promises to guide their behaviour and actions. Our staff ensure that our values, through our promises, are at the heart of our interactions and relationships with our entire school community.

We share our federations ethos and regard ourselves as being a curious, confident and creative community who are inclusive, visionary and collaborative. I am really proud to be Headteacher at Elm Wood Primary School and to work with a dedicated team to provide the best education and life skills for the children in our care.

At Elm Wood Primary School, education is about developing the whole child and providing opportunities for them to flourish within and beyond the classroom. It is the aim of the whole school team to help children to become successful learners and well-rounded individuals who are ready to take on the next step in their life journey.

Inclusion is at the heart of our school and this means that we strive to remove barriers to enable all learners to be successful each and every day.
