Elmsleigh Infant and Nursery School (in Swadlincote, South Derbsyshire) is a highly inclusive, vibrant, mainstream School with an Enhanced Resource provision, which is part of the Esteem Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). 

At Elmsleigh, everything we do is guided by a deep commitment to our children’s well-being, with safety and happiness always coming first. We believe that when children feel secure, valued, and inspired, they can truly flourish. Our dedicated team delivers a rich, diverse, and carefully tailored curriculum that nurtures curiosity, fosters creativity, and builds confidence. We encourage every child to grow into the very best version of themselves, developing a love for learning that will stay with them for life.

Through engaging lessons, hands-on experiences, and a supportive environment, we empower our pupils to embrace challenges, celebrate achievements, and discover their full potential. At Elmsleigh, our children embody the core values of respect, responsibility, compassion, resilience, ambition, and community. These values shape everything we do, helping our pupils grow into kind, capable, and confident individuals who are ready for the next stage of their education and beyond.

As part of Esteem MAT, we benefit from collaboration with other schools, sharing best practices, resources, and expertise to ensure we continually improve and evolve. We take immense pride in our pupils’ achievements and in the positive impact they make on the world around them.
