Community Links
At Edward the Elder 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 3 Local Walk
Year 3 loved their walk round our local community as part of their ‘Out and About’ topic. The children were identifying and observing human and physical features in their environment.
