Elizabeth Selby Infants' School

As a parent, your child is the most important thing in your life and choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make. At Elizabeth Selby we have children aged from 2 to 7 years. For their junior education the children move to our partner school next door – Lawdale Juniors and remain very much a part of our school community.

We are an Infant school that is passionate about early education. We offer the children a warm and nurturing environment as we understand that children who feel safe, valued and cared for will be in the best position to learn. We are a Rights Respecting School and this is reflected in how the children and staff go about their day. We deliver a curriculum that is exciting as well as challenging and is tailored to the needs of the children.

We believe in strong partnerships with parents and encourage our parents to regularly engage with us about their children’s learning and become part of our school community. Children achieve well in our school and we have very strong academic results. Above all, we aim to develop happy, well rounded, capable children who are well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

Our vision is to be a centre of excellence for early education. Our aim is for all children to leave us having reached their full potential. We aim to offer an environment that will enable children to become confident, resilient, well rounded people who are prepared for life and will be our future role models.

A core value is a central belief clearly understood and shared by every member of the school community.

• We have agreed our school values and have grouped them into four core values.
• The first letters of each value form the word RISE – Respect, Inclusion, Safety and Equality.

These values are applicable to every member of our school community – children, staff, parents and governors.
