At Elston Hall Primary School we encourage links with our local community.
We believe that community links are essential in the growth, development and wellbeing of all our pupils. Links with our local community help us to build relationships with groups and individuals who will provide positive role models for our children.


Year 6 Sewing Workshop
Year 6 children have been exploring War of the Worlds alongside history lessons on different wars and the symbolism of the poppy.

Using felt and embroidery thread, they created beautiful poppies, finishing them with buttons. The project culminated in a hands-on workshop where ch


STEM Bridge Building Challenge
We have hosted an exciting STEM Bridge Building Challenge, and the results were nothing short of incredible! Children put their engineering skills to the test by designing and building their own bridges using a variety of materials.

Parents were invited to come and view the finished models, and it was wonderful to see everyone’s hard work come to life. The bridges we

Year 1 Learns Road Safety
Crossing the road safely is an essential skill and Year 1 have learned how to cross the road safely with our 'School Crossing Patrol' Officer. They were taught how to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and how to find a safe place to cross. The children learnt through fun role play and even learnt a song to help them remember the rules of crossing the road safely! They can't wait to put their skills into practise on their next community walk.

Year 3 recently welcomed our local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), who visited the children to talk about stranger danger and the importance of recognising safer strangers. During the session, the children listened attentively and took part in thoughtful discussions based on everyday situations. Together, they explored what to do if they ever feel worried or unsure, and who they can turn to for help. The PCSO explained that not all strangers are unsafe and supported


Year 1 Explore our Local Community
Children in Year 1 have been learning all about road safety. They explored how to stay safe near roads using the Green Cross Code. The children then put their learning into action by taking a walk around the local community, where they confidently identified different road signs and street names. Everyone showed excellent awareness and responsibility, making it a very successful and enjoyable learning experience.
