Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School

At Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School we want the best for every child, regardless of who they are. That is what drives us. Our golden rule is: if it would not be good enough for our own relatives, it is not good enough for Dame Elizabeth pupils.

We pride ourselves on our STRIVE Values:

Self-Motivated to Achieve
Together We Learn
Respectful to All
Integrity in All We Do
Valuable Contributions
Everyone is Equal

We expect pupils to have manners and show respect to each other and their teachers. Anyone who does not show manners and respect is sanctioned and reflects on their behaviour so they make better choices in future. We know parents and carers chose Dame Elizabeth because they wanted a superb learning experience for their children. To that end, we will not allow anyone to steal the learning of others.

We want pupils to think harder so they learn more.
