Staff

I am thrilled to welcome you to Harrold Primary Academy.

Having joined the school in September 2024, I can say without doubt that Harrold Primary Academy is a happy, caring and supportive school, of which children and staff are rightly proud.

The Academy was formed on the site of Harrold Lower School and Harrold Priory Middle School, opening its doors to the pupils aged 4 - 11 years in September 2017. We are a small, one-form entry primary school, serving children from Reception to Year 6.

A benefit of being on the site of a former Middle School is that we have access to facilities most primary schools cannot offer. We are fortunate to have spacious school grounds with a large field and playground, library, science lab, food technology room and a team of dedicated staff who work hard to deliver exciting, engaging and enjoyable lessons for children at Harrold.

Our vision is that every child has the right to a high quality of learning, where they are treated with respect in a safe and stimulating learning environment. Children actively participate in learning by demonstrating a sense of readiness, where they take responsibility for themselves and the school environment. We help to build resilience in all our children by ensuring that the learning that they experience is a stepped approach with appropriate scaffolding and modelling in place to secure and build improved independent learning.

When children leave Harrold, they are well-equipped to continue achieving throughout secondary school and beyond.
We believe that close cooperation between home and school is essential, and we aim to keep parents as informed as possible about the progress being made by their children and ways in which they can support their children’s learning.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Harrold Primary Academy.
