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.

This Week At Elburton - Week Commencing 28th September 2026

Live Theatre Experience

There was great excitement in school this week as all of our children gathered to enjoy a live performance of Alice in Wonderland. The production brought the much-loved story to life and provided a fantastic theatrical experience for everyone.

We are incredibly grateful to the Friends of Elburton Primary School (FEPS), whose generous support enabled us to provide this special opportunity for our children at no cost to families.

Park Run Primary School Status

We are delighted to share the exciting news that Elburton Primary School is now a Parkrun Primary School.

Junior Parkrun is a free, fun, and friendly 2km run for children aged 4-14, taking place every Sunday morning at 9:00am in parks across the country. Our nearest event is held at Devonport Park, and we are already proud to have several Elburton children taking part each week.

If your child would like to come along to this free event, please follow the details in this week's newsletter or click on this link parkrun | junior parkrun
