From Nursery to Year 6 and beyond...
Ellingham is a warm and welcoming school with a teaching team who are ambitious for all of our children in their education and well-being. Through continual reflection on our practice and investment in training and the latest research, we provide a high quality education and have high aspirations for all children and will support them to achieve their absolute best.
Aspirations for the children extend beyond results in reading, writing and maths. As well as a school curriculum that offers a broad and exciting balance of the creative, scientific and sporting subjects, we offer experiences that delight and connect children to the opportunities that life offers.
This would include the opportunity to visit theatres, museums, galleries and to have workshops and meet with role model speakers as well as sports days, school plays and focus weeks, such as STEM week or arts week.

We celebrate our values every week at our Excellence Award assembly. Children are acknowledged for demonstrating our key values and for their hard work and celebrated by the whole school. They also receive house points for good work and behaviour, which contributes to their house team with a reward of extra play or a mufti day for the winning house.
