Eldon Primary School currently has 250 pupils on roll. We are extremely fortunate to be able to offer quality learning provision for children as young as two years old in our onsite Nursery class. Currently there are eight classes located in our impressive Victorian building, which is 134 years old this year! Following several years of ongoing building works, the school’s facilities are in tune with our children’s modern needs and suited well to delivering an exciting and bespoke curriculum. Facilities as a 4D Immersive Room, Radio Station, Eldon Forest and Eldon House, as well as our latest escapade… Eldon TV, make us a pretty impressive and unique school! I am delighted to say that the schools community is very proud of the local, regional and national accolades. These are a true testimony to the hardworking staff teams, pupils, parents, Governors and our wider community.
