Our values and ethos run deep, shaping every aspect of life at The Elms. We nurture a culture of kindness, and a can-do attitude, helping children embrace challenges with confidence and a sense of adventure. Guided by these principles, every pupil is supported to flourish and become the very best version of themselves.
Endeavour
We encourage every member of our community to try hard, to strive to achieve their goals and to make every effort to be the very best version of themselves in all aspects of school life: in the classroom, on the sports pitches, in performing and creative arts, and in their friendships.
Perseverance
We impress upon everyone the importance of not giving up, but continuing to try and to learn from every mistake or failed attempt. Our children understand that they will make great progress if they embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. We want every child to enjoy the challenge of new experiences and have the courage to try again and again until they triumph.
Compassion
We exhort our pupils to always be kind and thoughtful to everyone. They are urged to be generous with their time and to be supportive and helpful to their friends, their peers, and all members of the school community. We also place great importance in being kind and caring to animals.
