Website Elm Wood Primary
At Elm Wood recognises the potential of every individual to achieve excellence. We strive to positively address underachievement and have very high expectations for all members of our school community. We work hard to creatively remove barriers to achievement and raise esteem. We are determined to create a true culture of “learning for all” through meaningful partnerships with the whole Elm Wood community.
Everyone works to provide a welcoming, calm, happy and purposeful atmosphere. Consideration, encouragement of positive role models, respect for others, their property and the environment are our priorities. We aim to deliver a broad, balanced and enriched curriculum in an optimum learning environment that is attractive, stimulating, informative and instils a sense of pride.
From our stated aims, the whole Elm Wood community works to achieve the following objectives:
- A happy, calm and nurturing Elm Wood community
- A highly stimulating learning environment
- Mutual respect and understanding
- An inclusive education free from discrimination
- Encouragement to make informed and responsible choices about how we behave and the impact of this on others
- Very high standards and expectations / intolerance of underachievement
- Access to an exciting, progressive and varied curriculum
- Development of self-motivation, independence, positive attitudes and confidence
- Provide positive and diverse role models.
There will be clear evidence of these objectives around the whole school. All adults working here must share, understand and demonstrate the practice of them.
