Elmsett C of E Primary School

Welcome Message! 

Welcome to our wonderful school. We are very proud of our pupil's achievements and how we are improving and progressing as a school. 

Over the coming year we will all be working to ensure the high standards already set in place continue to be met and that our pupils are deeply involved in enjoying their education and making excellent progress.

We will be working to develop independence along with resilience and a growth mind-set for all our pupils in order to prepare them the new and changing requirements of their future education and careers.

We have created an exciting curriculum to ensure that the education our pupils receive is of a consistently high quality, that learning is fun and engaging and that Elmsett school is recognised as a progressive, caring and inclusive school for everyone. We are a small school but we have big ambitions and are proud of our achievements.  

Being a rural school that serves both the local community and surrounding villages, we draw upon our beautiful environment and try to utilise all the resources available to extend and enrich learning. All pupils attend our forest school and we have a school allotment frequented by the children to learn how to grow, nurture and harvest vegetables. Buckle's Wood is on our doorstep for outdoor learning and creating wonderful things such as bird boxes and minibeast hotels.

We are proud to be an Eco-School and the pupils are actively involved in recycling and other activities both independently and through their own Eco-Council to create a sustainable environment. Our Green Flag flies proudly at the front of our school.

Elmsett school is a Church of England school with Christian values where the moral and spiritual development of each person is very important. The school has developed Christian values within its school community by enabling pupils to experience worship in church within the Anglican tradition, Methodist tradition and by fostering close and regular links with local clergy and diocese.

We aim to provide a caring, family atmosphere where pupils (age 4 to 11) can learn to grow and work independently with confidence, interest, enthusiasm and self-discipline, whilst maintaining an awareness of and respect for others. We welcome parents into school to help with reading and cooking or to share experiences that may be valuable to the children. Please contact  the office, or speak to a class teacher if you would like to be involved.

Please take a look around the website where you will see more of what Elmsett School has to offer.
