At Ellington Primary School we believe that every child has the ability to excel in almost any area of learning. Excellence isn’t the result of a natural talent, but instead is the result of: extensive opportunity, skilled teaching, focussed practise and personal determination. Everything we do as a school is done with this vision in mind.
Our Values are the attributes that underpin our vision:
Honesty – being fair and truthful at all times.
Respect – for yourself, your family and your community.
Pride – in everything you do; aspiring to be the best version of you.
Resilience – recovering from difficulties, attempting things that will be hard and challenging.
Teamwork – working successfully with others.
Happiness – enjoying school and embracing life.
