From the very start of their time at Ecclesall Primary School children know that their happiness and well-being is our priority. Our three Ecclesall values are Positivity, Kindness and Respect. A whole school community approach to developing positive relationships, confidence and self-belief supports our vision that every child’s experience must be a happy one.

Children are encouraged to talk about their thoughts and feelings and they know adults will listen. Supportive friendships are key and children know how to care for each other. Through discussion and learning, children are encouraged to develop the skills and resilience to cope with challenges and ultimately be happy, confident individuals, who love life, school and learning.
