I am delighted to welcome you to Elton Primary School. We love visitors, offering them a warm welcome and the opportunity to show off our thriving learning community both in person and via our website!
Our motto is 'DREAM TEAM ' and underpinning that motto is our mission statement: Elton Primary is all about inspired, nurtured, happy children having fun and working hard in all areas of the school life. At Elton we offer high quality teaching and guaranteed progress in a stable, stimulating, inclusive, diverse and caring community.
Our staff, children and Governors strive for excellence in everything we do. We recognise the importance of your active participation in the school life of your child and welcome you to become involved in a variety of ways. We pride ourselves on being a friendly open school where all members of our community take part in evaluating our progress and driving forward.
We have high expectations for all pupils. We welcome and celebrate the diversity in our community and shared experiences, interests and strengths. We have eight classes. Each class is a vibrant exciting, learning centre where the children are challenged in a supportive, caring way.
