The ELC Vision: ‘Working together to deliver excellence in learning across our communities.’
The Excellence in Learning Community was established in 2015. It comprises of a diverse group of 17 Primary Schools from across the London Borough of Enfield. The Excellence in Learning Community set out to achieve:
- Exceptional school to school support
- Ongoing collaborative enrichment events
- Developing additional funding sources to enrich our member schools learning offer through bid opportunities
- Promote co-operation and collaboration between our schools, other educational bodies and the wider communities in which our schools operate
A steering group meet every half term to co-ordinate agreements from previous meetings, prepare key documents and monitor the workload of the ELC network co-ordinator. Regular network meetings are also held with key leaders with the aim that over time we ensure that all areas of school life are included. These meetings allow staff to network, share ideas and expertise.
Current members of the Excellence in Learning Community partnership are:
Alma Primary School , Cuckoo Hall Primary, De Bohun Primary School, Firs Farm Primary, Freezywater St George’s C E Primary
Garfield Primary, Hazelwood Schools, Highfield Primary, Honilands Primary, Our Lady of Lourdes Primary, St John & St James C E Primary
