Our Vision and Core Values

The original school Motto, “Tempore Sapienter Utere” rendered in Latin on the fabric Riband (ribbon) that also displays the name The Ellerslie School . The shape of the book is similar to “stone tablets” the earliest form of carved text knowledge. The new School Badge is designed as a Circular emblem, and as such exemplifies a protected space where ‘All Participants Are Equal.’ With remembrance of its history and timely focus forward, The Ellerslie School offers a firm Barbados Future for all student who attend this noble institution.
