Welcome message from our CEO
Welcome to Elms Bank website. Oak Learning Partnership is a Trust of schools across three phases; primary, secondary and special in Bury Greater Manchester, working together to ensure our children have a highly effective education in a truly inclusive environment.
We also jointly lead the Bury Teaching School Alliance which supports training and school improvement across all Bury schools. Our shared vision is to provide the very best learning opportunities and outcomes for all our young people. Whilst academic outcomes are important at Elms Bank, developing the wider personal, social, independence and employability skills is crucial to ensuring that all our young people are equipped to lead happy and fulfilling lives when they leave school.
We have an experienced staff team and excellent facilities and believe that the best way to provide an excellent education is by working in partnership with our families. I hope you enjoy visiting our website and that you find all the information you need. If you would like to visit Elms Bank, you will be warmly welcomed by our staff and pupils.
