‘pupils are proud to attend’ Elton with an established culture of ‘high aspirations for what pupils can
achieve’. Our students achieve well, with inspectors being particularly impressed with the climate for
learning and behaviour of our students – their ‘positive behaviour at all times is characteristic of the
respectful culture of this school [and] their positive conduct reflects leaders’ high standards’.
The success of our school is built on the expertise of our high-quality staff. We have a strong system
of staff training in place aimed at developing the very best practice, moreover we have a constant

balance. We pride ourselves on taking a proactive approach to promoting the well-being of everyone
in our school community and consistently review opportunities to further promote staff well-being.
