Harrow Gate Primary Academy
Welcome letter from our Principal
I extend a heartfelt welcome to all our children, their families, and the broader community who play a vital role in the life of Harrow Gate Primary Academy.
Our school thrives on the unique contributions each child brings, creating a joyful and harmonious environment for both learning and working. Guided by our mission statement— ‘The academy will endeavour to raise the achievement and aspirations of every child’—this principle is at the heart of everything we do at Harrow Gate.
.
Our school is characterised by positive relationships and attitudes, creating an ethos where learning together becomes an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all. I am privileged to lead a school that is truly unique in its character and spirit.
Our School Mission
The academy will endeavour to raise the achievement and aspirations of every child.
The relationships in a child or young person’s life are very important to their wellbeing and development. In a school setting, this means that their relationships with school staff, and with each other, should be nurtured and supported.
Positive relationships in the classroom/school that are built on trust, kindness, safety and security are an important tool for change, linked not only to better child wellbeing but also to better educational performance.
Our Curriculum
Threaded through all teaching and learning are planned opportunities and focus on developing the children as 'Global Citizens'. The global dimension to our curriculum helps pupils understand global issues and explore ways of addressing them within and beyond school.
As a staff, we agreed on threecore values that underpin everything we do in school. These are values we seek to develop in our children. We also agreed on seven key principles for our curriculum that inform our pedagogical approach and the types of activities set as part of the implementationof the curriculum.
