At Ellel St. John’s CE Primary School Equality is important to everyone. It is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly, knowing that they are special, unique and made in God’s own image. We are a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. We aim to promote an environment where everyone feels happy, safe and secure. This environment and ethos is underpinned by the Christian values that we live by.

We have included some links to resources that are useful to support our pupils, parents and carers with learning about differences.

Please speak to us if you have any concerns.
