At Elms Bank we are trying to encourage pupils to participate in education in its widest and fullest sense. Education is stimulating and enjoyable if it takes place in a caring environment. We expect pupils to be polite, work hard and take pride in themselves and School.
Contact and partnership with parents is essential if we are to help all our pupils achieve. Our links with parents are very good. We have a Parents’ and Friends of Elms Bank Society.
The Department for Education and Skills designated Elms Bank as a Specialist Arts College from September 2004. We are very proud of our Arts achievement and to be only the third special school in the country to become an Arts College. Although the Arts are a great strength we offer expertise in subjects and are a Sports Co-ordinating School also.
"Thank you for visiting our website. Elms Bank endeavours to be at the forefront
