From the Elham Church of England Primary School
Welcome to Elham Church of England Primary School, which has served as the community's hub for more than a century. Everyone should take this vital first step because school plays a significant role in our lives. Since September 2014, I have had the honour of serving as this great school's headteacher. Our goal is to give your kids the finest possible learning environment so they can develop and learn. We are dedicated to helping our kids grow up to be responsible, polite adults who form kind, mutually respectful connections with other people in the world. Our six distinctive Christian values—kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, wisdom, and faithfulness—define Elham's loving and clearly Christian culture. We are proud of our friendliness and openness. Our goal is to give our students a wide range of opportunities within the curriculum and beyond. We try to identify something that will motivate them and cultivate a lifetime passion of learning in them. I think our website has all the information you could need, but if you have any questions or discover you need more details, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Come visit and I will be happy to show you around and introduce you to the Elham Primary School family, which is the greatest way to see what we do.
