About

We are committed to ensuring our schools are a living part of the community and contribute positively to its needs. We engender love and tolerance between and for our staff, pupils, and others to foster an inspiring atmosphere of mutual support.

We do everything possible to provide a caring, safe, and secure place for our staff and pupils to be happy and respected in our schools so they may achieve their potential. We acknowledge accountability and responsibility for our actions but ensure that we encourage each other to make brave decisions and then learn from any mistakes.

We are determined that our schools offer a place for the joy of learning, enabling those of all abilities to thrive and go on to lead rewarding lives. At Elm CofE we are passionate about children's learning and relish the challenge of guiding our children through life.

Elm C of E Primary School is a popular school in the vibrant village of Elm Cambridgeshire, with 208 learners on roll. The culture of our school ensures that every child is known well and valued. We are a happy, ambitious and inclusive school reflecting the values of families in our area.

Governing body (5 current, 7 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

1 governor is linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
