Our Mission

Elm Grove’s mission is to provide a positive learning environment for all, where children and adults are included, value each other and are supported to thrive. This is captured in our motto:

 

Everyone Included, Everyone Valued. Learning and Thriving Together

 

Our 5-year vision

In 2022 Elm Grove’s governors set out a new 5-year strategic framework and vision for the school.

Our vision is that Elm Grove Primary will be a flourishing school, with a deserved reputation for providing excellent education opportunities whilst nurturing children and striving for the best possible outcomes for everyone.

To achieve our vision, we have identified strategic aims for the following priority areas:

  • Ambitious learning
  • Access to learning
  • Wellbeing
  • School environment
  • Collaboration

More information about the vision and the consultative process to develop it can be viewed in this document [Elm Grove Primary New Vision 2022].

 

Our Values

Our aim is to work in a safe and friendly atmosphere, and we celebrate the following values:

 

  • Care and respect: We have a culture of care and respect where “fair” means that everyone gets what they need, not that everyone gets the same.
  • Inclusion: Every child and adult is valued and can make a meaningful contribution to school life and succeed. We aspire to meet the needs of all children.
  • Life-long learning: Learning should be a purposeful, creative, rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone. We want everyone to reach their full learning potential.
  • Diversity: We celebrate diversity, equal opportunities and global education
  • Partnership: We work in partnership with our parents, carers, other schools and the wider community

 

Our Rules

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. We respect the diversity of our community by celebrating and learning from our differences. We believe that relationships are the key to a successful school. We work hard to develop positive and supportive relationships between all members of the school community and our golden rules help us to do this:

✓ Ready

✓ Respectful

✓ Safe

We will always foster good relationships in our school and strive to create a vibrant, positive and memorable learning journey for all members of our community.
