School Vision / Ethos
Welcome to Five Elms Primary School in Dagenham, where we pride ourselves on fostering a creative, engaging, safe, and happy learning environment. Here, we celebrate achievements big and small, working hand-in-hand with parents, carers, and our local community to support each child's journey.
Our core values underpin our school ethos:
· Can Do: Encouraging a positive, proactive attitude.
· Resilient: Building strength and perseverance in every challenge.
· Engaged: Ensuring active participation and enthusiasm in learning.
· Aspiration: Recognising and celebrating success at all levels.
· Motivated: Inspiring a love for learning and personal growth.
We know that by placing an emphasis on top quality teaching and learning in a rich, lively environment we are creating a strong foundation on which our children will learn, thrive and achieve.
These first years of a child’s schooling sets them up for a successful life of learning in our fast-changing global society. We want children to leave us with a good understanding of the world they live in; Dagenham, London and the wider world.
We want them to cherish their own family values but also learn about and respect other cultures, beliefs and religions; respect is one of our core school values; a sense of self-respect a healthy respect for others and things around them.
At Five Elms, every child's potential is nurtured, every achievement celebrated, and every day filled with opportunities to grow.
Welcome to our school family!
