I am very privileged and proud to be the Head Teacher of Elmley Castle C of E First School. 

We describe our school community as a family and the children are firmly at the heart of all that we do. Our Christian values shape our vision, guiding us towards embracing life to the fullest, as John 10:10 inspires us. 

Our faith drives us to be fully inclusive and to provide a wide range of support to help each person be the very best they can be. 

Nestled in the heart of stunning Elmley Castle, with Bredon Hill as our backdrop, our location is picturesque. My family and I have strong connections to the area and annually participate in a family pilgrimage up Bredon Hill. We are so fortunate to be amongst nature and we make the most of our beautiful grounds, offering Forest School sessions, sporting events and time for friendships to blossom during break and lunch times. 

Our broad and balanced curriculum is engaging and inspiring. It supports children to gain the knowledge, confidence and skills they need for their next stage of learning and to become active, happy and well-rounded citizens of the future. 

I would love for you to experience the magic of our school firsthand and warmly invite you to come and see what a special community we are. Our dedicated staff team create a positive learning culture ensuring that each pupil’s unique potential is nurtured and celebrated. Together, we're creating ‘a little piece of heaven on Earth’, a place where happiness flourishes and everyone can shine.

I look forward to meeting you!

Mrs Rachel Penney Headteacher
