About

I am Mrs Holt, the Headteacher of Elm Wood Primary School. I am very much looking forward to getting to know all the children and the school community and working with you all to move our school forward. There will be lots of exciting developments at Elm Wood over the next weeks and months, so please keep checking through our website to find out more.

You can also keep up to date with everything by signing up to our school Class Dojo Page. Before you begin to explore, here is a little information about Elm Wood Primary School. This is a warm and welcoming school where all children are valued, feel secure and develop into confident life-long learners.

There are at present 15 classrooms in the main school building; including a nursery which caters for 26 morning and 26 afternoon children and 8 two year old children. The nursery provides a highly motivating inside and outside learning environment.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
