Parents of children living out of the area, who may wish their children to join us, should contact us to make arrangements to visit the school. Full details of the procedures are given in the Information Booklet issued by the Education Authority; these are available from the school office.

The school has been formed from established First and Middle Schools and is set in large and attractive grounds. The best features of each of the schools have been incorporated into our current building.

Outside, the facilities include a large tarmac playground and extensive fields and shrub areas. One of the fields is to be redeveloped as an extensive environmental area. We hope this will not only serve our school but also children from neighbouring schools.

The Foundation Stage, that is, Nursery and Reception Classes, have their own separate enclosed area with a tarmac playground, ideal for large play equipment, and a grassed and shrubbery area. This space also includes a memorial garden.

Our spacious accommodation, good facilities and close liaison promote the right working atmosphere for the children. Without doubt, our most valuable asset is our well-qualified and highly motivated staff team. All staff place great emphasis on encouraging a friendly, co-operative, caring atmosphere throughout the school. We believe children need to grow in self-confidence and become self-disciplined. All children are expected to be co-operative, polite and well behaved throughout the school day.

Queen Eleanor Primary School is a member of the Radcliffe Community of Schools. This is a partnership of the Primary Schools whose children usually transfer to Radcliffe Secondary School at age 11+. We work closely with the Radcliffe School and neighbouring Primary Schools to ensure consistency and continuity of the National Curriculum.

We are an open, friendly school and value the partnership which exists between children, parents and staff. Please talk to us about any matter, large or small, at any time. We welcome parents in school, to help in the classroom, library or with after-school clubs.

Each child is unique, with different talents, personalities and abilities. We work hard to recognise and foster individual abilities. It is important to enable talents and gifts to grow, with clear and challenging targets, as well as opportunities for imagination and creativity. Equally, we are able to recognise when extra time and support is needed to ensure secure understanding and confidence. Building self-esteem and respect for others makes for effective learning and a happy school.
