We take pride in our lovely building and the people inside it and create a happy, purposeful environment for our learning. Learning happens at all times and in all places, including outside in our lovely allotment and nature garden, at playtimes and lunchtimes and in the surrounding locality.
We set a high standard of expectation for both behaviour and achievement and the children rise to the challenge.

Year 5 Maths Challenge
On Tuesday 3/5/22, Izzy, Olivia, Josh and Ali from Year 5 all took part in Heat 5 of The Year 5 Maths Challenge organised by Cambridgeshire County Council's Maths Advisory Team. There were 3 rounds of questions and the children worked really hard to come up with answers in the time given. They worked really well together - they listened to each other, shared out tasks and helped each other to check. Unfortunately, the children did not score enough points to go through to the finals but they were great ambassadors and tried really hard.
Well done everyone!

World Book Day - Thursday 3rd March 2022.
We will be celebrating World Book Day this year by inviting the children to dress up for the day. This year marks the 25th anniversary of World Book Day! The theme for this year is 'You are a Reader.'
We would also like to encourage the children to bring in their favourite book on the day. There will be lots of book talk and various book activities throughout the day, so we would love to share our favourites and maybe inspire someone to pick up something new to read.
Ely St John's has achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2020/21 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
