Welcome

Headteacher's Welcome

I am thrilled, as Headteacher, to welcome you all to Elvetham Heath Primary School. Our school is special. It is a vibrant, happy and welcoming community; it has modern and spacious facilities; there are dedicated staff and curious children; and, we are a Character Education School.

This is something that all adults and children here are incredibly proud of. It is the golden thread that runs through everything we do. We work tirelessly to create an engaging and inspiring environment where children develop the virtues and character skills to become considerate, kind and active citizens of the future.

Our school predominantly serves the Elvetham Heath community, with most of our children entering from the catchment area. The school has always been a popular choice, having been rated Outstanding in March 2010, and retaining this rating again in January 2023. The majority of our children go on to Calthorpe Park Secondary School, but an increasing number also choose independent secondary schools.

Our school has extremely high levels of academic rigour and statutory results are consistently above national averages. Staff display a real committment to lifelong learning themselves and continuously strive to deliver innovative teaching and learning across the curriculum. Leaders prioritise and promote staff development and achieve this through a co-constructed, collaborative approach. We are also an outward looking school, always keen to connect with other schools in the local area, Hampshire and beyond.

Of course, Elvetham Heath Primary School also values the pastoral development of each individual. We believe in developing the whole child. Those who attend experience an extensive offer of enrichment activities alongside their academic studies. These include: a comprehensive programme of trips and visits; vistors and workshops; and, a well-established approach to nurturing children's mental health and developing a toolkit for self-regulation and resilience.

We are very proud of our school and we would encourage you to visit us and see for yourself. Visits can be arranged by calling the school office - we look forward to seeing you!

Mr Jonathan Owen.
