About Us

Five Elms Primary is a two-form entry school for children aged 3 to 11 years old located in Dagenham. Our school dates back to 1929 and is composed of:

• The Nursery, where our learning journey begins.
• 15 classrooms (2 reception, 4 key stage 1 and 9 key stage 2). Each of our classrooms is equipped with a class set of iPads that the children use to enhance their daily learning.
• Our wonderful library where children can go to enjoy books with their teacher and foster a love of reading and use their imagination.
• Our hall which is used for special events and assemblies.
• Our art gallery where you will find our budding artists work on display.
• Our gymnasium where our specialist PE coach teaches us how to stay fit and healthy.
• Our dining area which is a beautiful newly refurbished hall which allows children to enjoy their tasty lunches with their friends.
• Our playground. Five Elms Primary school is very lucky to have a large playground which is equipped with exciting play equipment, 2 football pitches, a vegetable patch and a wildlife garden and amazing forest area.

We are an extended school which means we offer care from 7.45 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. during term time. This includes a breakfast club, offering a delicious breakfast, a tea time club and a wide range of after school clubs.

Here at Five Elms, we believe that having a good start to the day is very important. All children are offered a free filled bagel at the start of each day.
