Welcome to Elmgrove.
Close to central Harrow, our school is situated in a quiet residential area next to Kenton Park. We are fortunate to have undergone a huge transformation with a brand new school building built as part of the DFE Priority School Building Project, which we took possession of in November 2022. We are also privileged to be one of Harrow Council’s additionally resourced primary schools for children with physical disabilities, who are fully integrated across the school.
At Elmgrove, we inspire and nurture lifelong learners through effective teaching and learning whilst at the same time providing rich and truly enjoyable experiences for our children. We expect our children to achieve high standards in all that they do; children only get one chance at education and we wish to ensure that our children are confident, well prepared and well-educated citizens ready to play their part in their community. We work hard to ensure children are successful in the key areas of English and Maths however we also want them to learn and experience more than this through a varied curriculum and a range of extra-curricular activities.
We are proud to be a Gold Rights Respecting School and we are proud of our staff and children’s diverse backgrounds. We come together with an atmosphere of respect for each other. This is accomplished by: good leadership, effective management, committed staff, governors, parents and pupils working together as a team.
Our Golden Values are an important part of what makes our school special: Kindness, Respect, Responsibility and Commitment
