Our Vision is to develop a learning community where all children enthusiastically participate, excel and are proud of their achievements across the curriculum.

Partnership of Achievement

Ethos

Elston Hall Learning Trust is underpinned by the moral purpose to change lives for the better.

Elston Hall Learning Trust creates learning environments that are built on integrity and support, where children are happy.

We want to encourage our children to be the best they can be and through learning, believe they can achieve anything.

Inspiring learning through exceptional teaching is at the heart of our Trust

Achieving the potential of our children is our fundamental aim. We will be relentless in our drive to ensure that this is delivered. We will challenge the view that education alone cannot break the cycle of deprivation, low aspiration and underachievement. We want to ensure everyone in our Trust has the personal resolve and support to succeed, an ethos of ‘yes we can’.

School Poem

This is our school,

Let peace dwell here,

Let the rooms be full of contentment,

Let love abide here,

Love of one another,

Love of mankind,

Love of life itself,

Let us remember that

As many hands are needed to build a house

So many hearts make a school.

School Song

Our school is a wonderful place

Walk in with a smile on my face

Ready just to learn and be the best that I can be

Working hard in all I do

Teachers here to help us too

And together we'll believe and achieve

We can do it!
