Our purpose is to provide an extraordinary education for all: an education that empowers our children and staff to achieve their best and be proud of who they are and what they do. This extraordinary education is set out in our Pledge to Pupils.

Whatever stage of their teaching career, an ELAN teacher:

• is intuitive
• loves children
• wants to share their own love of learning with children
