Faith - Achievement - Community - Empathy

Our Vision and Values

At Elham, we instil a deep sense of faith, hope, and purpose, encouraging our pupils to act with empathy and serve others with love. We believe that every child is a unique gift from God, with their own potential to flourish and grow. Guided by Christian faith and love, our school is a nurturing community where all are welcomed, valued, and inspired to aim high, act with compassion, and live with integrity.

We are committed to achievement for all, ensuring that every child—regardless of background or starting point—is supported, challenged and ambitious to thrive. We are guided by a belief in encouraging children to dream boldly and persevere with purpose. Learning is our purpose and commitment. 

We are a community, deeply rooted in our rural location. We are here for our children and their families, and we recognise the central role we play as a part of our village. 

Through a broad, rich and inclusive curriculum, we help our children grow into confident, kind, and thoughtful individuals who make a positive difference in the world.

Our Narrative

The narative that we use to underpin our vision is chosen from

John 6:5-14

New Living Translation

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

5  Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?”  6  He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.

7  Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!”

8  Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up.  9  “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?”

10  “Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus said. So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. 

(The men alone numbered about 5,000.)  

11  Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterwards, he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.  

12  After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”  

13  So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.

14  When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, 

“Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”

After many ideas from our wonderful children, we have decided that the team names will be...

AIR for Yellow, EARTH for Green, WATER for Blue and FIRE for Red team.

They chose these as they link to the creation of the world!

Our planet and the entire universe are formed from material particles in the act of Elements. It is just the dissimilarity of the elements to which we owe many thanks for the diversity of our world. However, all visible and invisible originate from only one source of life. That is why recognising the four faces of all -including unity, out of which the elements arose, enables man to develop spiritual consciousness and become aware of this unity.

As we commonly know, fire, water, air, and earth are but outwardly manifested forms of the Elements themselves. Their manifestations are as follows: the element of water has magnetic properties; it nurtures and sustains. The element of fire has electrical and creative properties. Air is a detaching element and enables the co-existence of the two main elements, fire and water. The element of earth binds fire, water and air in various proportions, making the formation of materials with different properties possible.
