What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Pupils achieve exceptionally well at Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred ('HPACH'). They love coming to school and attend regularly. From the moment children join in the Reception Year, they rise to the high expectations of 'excellence, every child, every day'. Pupils work incredibly hard in lessons. Their thirst for knowledge inspires them to learn. Pupils enjoy wholeheartedly the carefully designed enrichment offer. Rich and meaningful experiences permeate all aspects of the curriculum. Events, such as trips to The National Gallery or visiting opera singers, deepen pupils' knowledge superbly. Wednesday club night is a highlight of the week for many pupils. They look forward to honing their skills in origami, playing chess or learning Makaton. Many of these clubs lead to opportunities to represent the school. Pupils wear their 'HPACH' badge with pride when singing in the choir or representing their school in various sporting competitions. The school's core values underpin all aspects of everyday life. Pupils are proud of the way they influence these values. Kindness is a value the school has recently introduced. This is especially important to pupils. Whether holding a door open for a passing visitor, or helping a younger child during playtime, pupils live this value every day.
