Welcome letter from our Principal:


Dear Parents, Carers, and Friends of Harrow Gate Primary Academy,

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.

Learning is our core mission, and we are dedicated to fostering a culture of challenge and growth within a safe and supportive environment. Here, everyone is encouraged to be helpful, considerate, and respectful of one another. We emphasize making learning connections clear and present challenges that inspire our pupils to develop resilience, independence, and persistence. We want our children to explore ideas, reason, explain, and justify their thinking, equipping them to make informed decisions and embrace lifelong learning. These skills are not only crucial for their education but also contribute to their overall safety and well-being.

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.

At Harrow Gate Primary Academy, we celebrate and embrace all forms of achievement, reflecting our commitment to inclusion and unity. We consistently strive for the highest standards across all areas of the curriculum, guided by our core values of Achievement, Resilience, and Trust. These values inspire every child to reach their full potential.

We see parents as essential partners in promoting high standards of learning and behaviour. Your involvement in school life is invaluable, and we welcome it wholeheartedly. Thank you for choosing our school. I hope our website gives you a glimpse into what makes Harrow Gate special. If you haven’t had the chance yet, I encourage you to visit us for a tour and meet our dedicated staff and wonderful children. Appointments can be arranged through the school office.

I look forward to continuing our positive and successful partnership in the years ahead.

With kind regards,

Mrs Vicky Galt
Principal
