Welcome to Elburton Primary School

At Elburton, we believe primary education should give children strong foundations for today and wide horizons for tomorrow. We are ambitious for every child. Our curriculum builds secure knowledge while encouraging children to think deeply, communicate confidently, ask questions and make meaningful connections.
We believe a great education extends beyond academic success. Through sport, the arts, leadership, enrichment, pupil voice and wider experiences, we help children develop confidence, independence and a strong sense of belonging. Our values — Safe, Inspire, Pride, Flourish and Respect — shape the way we learn, work and grow together.
Proudly part of our community for over 55 years, we continue to look forward and evolve so that our children are ready for the world ahead.Most importantly, we want every child to enjoy coming to school, feel known and valued, and believe in what they can achieve.
We would be delighted to welcome you to Elburton.
