About

At Elm Academy we take pride in developing outstanding learning opportunities for all by holding the highest expectations of all our pupils, and by knowing the children well. We challenge all pupils to strive for academic, creative, sporting, spiritual, moral, social and cultural accomplishment within a broad, vibrant and enriched curriculum.

We are a school that sets no limits on learning or achievement. We celebrate perseverance, resilience and risk taking, ensuring children welcome challenge. We encourage children to take ownership of and responsibility for their learning, so that they have the confidence and curiosity to ask questions, solve problems and respond to quality feedback.

Elm Academy is a primary school situated in Bournemouth; it provides education to mainstream nursery/primary pupils aged from 3-11 years from the West Howe and the local surrounding areas.

It is our aim that pupils leave Elm Academy as literate, numerate, confident young people with high aspirations, independent learning skills and a sense of moral responsibility and an appetite for future learning.
