OUR SCHOOL
At Elmbrook School, we believe that every individual deserves a supportive and inclusive environment where they can thrive. Our commitment to nurturing well-being and fostering personal growth is at the heart of everything we do. We provide tailored resources and a compassionate community, empowering everyone to embrace their unique journey. Together, we cultivate a space where learning, connection, and understanding flourish.
​
At Elmbrook School, we prioritize creating a safe, caring, and supportive environment for children and their families. Our holistic approach emphasizes both academic and personal development, ensuring every child receives individual attention through regular 1:1 sessions. We encourage children to express themselves, listen to their needs, and provide opportunities for growth and learning without fear of failure. Our focus on open communication and family support helps foster a sense of belonging, allowing each child to feel valued and part of a nurturing community. Together, we create a foundation for lifelong skills and personal development.

Headteacher's Message
​I am very proud to be Headteacher of Elmbrook School. We are a friendly and caring school.
If your child attends here they will be treated with respect and helped to re-engage with their learning both academically and socially so that they can hopefully either return to mainstream education or successfully transfer to other suitable long term provision.
​
Our children are encouraged to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom. We aim to provide a calm and stimulating environment where good behaviour and mutual respect is modelled, and where everyone is valued. We provide a broad and balanced education with the talents of each child recognised and celebrated, thereby enabling all of our children to grow in confidence, develop a sense of responsibility and achieve their personal goals. Every child is an individual.

A Calm Environment

Every child is an individual.​

Our Management Committee
​
Our School Management Committee plays a vital role in the smooth running and development of Elmbrook School. Our committee members come from a range of backgrounds, each bringing a unique set of skills to enhance the work of our school. There are different categories of Management Committee members: Staff Members are elected by the school staff; Parent Member positions are advertised to all parents when a vacancy arises and are then elected by parents if there are more candidates than positions; Community Members are appointed by the Management Committee; and Authority Members are appointed by the Local Authority. The Headteacher serves as an Ex-Officio Staff Member.
