I feel very privileged to be welcoming you to the website of Ellington Infant School. As Headteacher of Ellington, I am proud to be a part of such an incredible community of children, families and school staff, and am keen to welcome as many families as possible to join us on our journey!
Of course we believe that every child has the right to an excellent education, but more than that, we believe that a child's happiness is central to them being able to access their education fully. At Ellington we help our children to feel safe, valued and loved which will allow them to achieve their very best.
We understand that a child's education can shape the path of their future life, which is why we all do our very best to allow our children to thrive, and to prepare them to move on to the next stage of their young lives. Ellington is a wonderfully resourced school with an incredible school library, lots of indoor space, and some amazing outdoor areas.
