We believe that young children need to be exposed to a wide range of experiences to enable them to reach their full potential and be ready for the next phase of their education.
Every child at George Eliot Primary will be a confident individual who has a curiosity and love of learning.
Our children will develop resilience and have a positive attitude to the world around them; celebrating our similarities and differences. Everyone will display mutual respect to one another, whilst also learning from each other.
Effective partnerships between home and school are viewed as crucial to enable each child to succeed.
