Harrison Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 December 2023

Pupils get an excellent start to school life. The school's ethos, underpinned by the 'Harrison Learning Tree', is one which supports all pupils to achieve their best both academically and pastorally. Pupils also play their part in ensuring a happy and safe school. One pupil summed their school up beautifully by saying: 'We're all separate musical notes. Together, we make a harmony.' Pupils' learning starts strongly in the Reception Year. This high-quality provision continues throughout the school. The school focuses on the individual needs of its pupils. Staff know the pupils very well and give them the precise support they need to flourish. This is especially true for disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have very positive attitudes towards their learning. They listen to their teachers extremely attentively and aim to put their learning into action in all subjects. The effort that pupils show is remarkable. Throughout each day, well- mannered pupils demonstrate high levels of self-control. Over time, pupils build a very strong understanding about respecting others. Older pupils discuss elements of growing up with maturity as they prepare for secondary school.
