I would like to welcome you to Queen Eleanor's C of E Junior School where every child is valued as a unique individual. We believe all children have the right to enjoy and achieve to the best of their ability in a safe, happy, and secure environment. At Queen Eleanor's, the safeguarding of children is our highest priority.
We believe that it is important to build up close relationships with the children based on mutual understanding and respect, and visitors to the school frequently comment on the friendly, calm atmosphere created by the children and staff. We have a strong partnership with our families, and this supports and encourages each child to reach their potential.
We appreciate our families' involvement in school activities and share the children's success and progress. Queen Eleanor's is a Church of England School, and we have strong links with our local churches and Guildford Cathedral.
The spiritual development of our children is extremely important to us, and we provide many opportunities, within school, for our children to develop spiritually. Our school vision is: Jesus the Good Shepherd said, ''I have come to give life – life in all its fullness.'' John 10:10
