As a parent and the Headteacher of Eckington School, I am acutely aware of the expectations and aspirations we all hold for our children. We want them to be safe, respectful, confident, resilient, and successful in everything they do. That is why we are proud to promote The Eckington Way: a shared commitment to being safe, calm, polite and kind, prepared, and ambitious. These values are at the heart of everything we do and underpin the high standards we expect from all members of our school community.
