We celebrated the value of determination in assembly this morning and dedicated the celebration award to our wonderful Year 6s after a week of SATs tests.  We could not have been more proud.  

Every single one of them turned up on time, with positive attitudes and a full commitment to do their absolute best.  The teachers have worked so hard to support children in making progress in their learning but also instilling a can-do attitude.  All of us at Ellingham recognise that children are more than their test results and these Year 6 children are role models to the rest of the school in so many other ways through their calm and kindness, through their fun and inclusivity and their engagement in wanting to be the best they can be.  

Well done Year 6!  There are more pictures below.

We are taking part in WOW’s Walk to School week with the theme of the magic of walking. Everyday there is a different focus, such as the magic of nature or the magic of friendship.

If you do drive to school, please park just a little further away so the children can walk in as the winning classes get a lovely prize of time at Chessington's climbing wall or a visit to the park. Suggested distances are; from around about the post box in Bolton road, Chessington South station or the doctors in Merritt Gardens.
