Welcome from the Principal
A large inner-city secondary school serving 1300 incredible children.
Where EGScellence thrives, and the EGSceptional shine.
As the very proud Principal of this extraordinary school, I have one very clear aim:
To ensure that the children attending our school receive the very best deal when it comes to their education.
Success can be measured in many forms, but here at Ellis Guilford School, we firmly believe that through a rigorous and robust curriculum and with exceptional teaching, our children can flourish. We strive for academic excellence at all times.
We are privileged to have a team of staff in our school who are absolutely passionate about, and committed to, providing the very best education for all of our children.
Miss Gemma Johnson
Principal
In order for our children to be successful, children are supported through a superb pastoral system that values and celebrates positive relationships.
We place huge value on the relationships we also have with our families. We truly believe that, together, we can make a real difference to the lives of our children.
We also provide an extremely busy extracurricular calendar for our children to choose from. We have many sporting and performing stars in our midst who benefit from these opportunities.
Here, at the Ellis Guilford School, we strive for EGScellence in everything we do; in learning, character and community. We have three core school values of ambition, equality and respect. These values permeate our school and we expect all children to take responsibility for embodying these values on a daily basis. We provide opportunities for children to display our values through Pledges in Practice.
Ambition
We aim for EGScellence every day with effort, kindness and no delay.
Integrity
Even when no-one's in sight, we choose to do what's honest and right.
Respect
We listen, we care.
We're honest and fair.
Ellis Guilford School is part of the Creative Education Trust, who support our vision of providing a world-class education for our very deserving children. Our school benefits from their unwavering support and guidance, to ensure even better outcomes for our children.
Please see below some of our EGScellent children talking about our school for our recent Open Evening event.
I warmly welcome you to come and see our school in all its brilliance. I look forward to meeting you then.
