Ellern Mede is a truly special place to teach.

 OFSTED, 2022 inspection:

'The school is friendly, welcoming and calm, which enables pupils to settle quickly. 

Staff build strong, professional and trusting relationships with pupils. This helps 

pupils to participate positively in their education. Staff use individualised strategies 

skilfully that help pupils to remain focused in class. As a result, curriculum teaching 

is rarely ever disrupted. Pupils’ attitudes to their learning are excellent.'
