Essex, United Kingdom HARRIS PRIMARY ACADEMY CHAFFORD HUNDRED Full time

About Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred

We are a 3 form entry primary school from Reception to Year 6, which also includes a 52 place Nursery. We are a successful academy that was judged outstanding in every category in our recent Ofsted inspection.

As part of the Harris Federation, we work very closely together and share the best practice and leadership knowledge to make the education we offer outstanding. Our shared belief is that children thrive when they feel consistently happy and safe at school, and our commitment to excellence is encapsulated in our vision statement: "Excellence, Every child, Every day."

Our core values of Resilience, Respect, Responsibility, Community and Kindness underpin everything that happens at Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred. They are our foundations and we have a clear expectation that all adults, as well as children and staff, model and respect these values both inside and outside the academy.

Our team are committed to every child, and aim to develop confident and creative learners who leave the academy ready for secondary and the world ahead of them. We proudly celebrate our children's diversity and achievements, from both school and at home.

Whether they are learning English and Maths, Latin or Mandarin, competing in sports, or discussing their dream occupations, we do whatever it takes to ensure our pupils gain the confidence to aspire and flourish in life.

At HPACH, we work tirelessly to make sure that every child comes to recognise their own potential. As a result of the exceptional practice at our academy every single day, our children achieve outstanding outcomes each year and we are incredibly proud of them. Alongside academic achievement, we want our academy to be a safe and caring space for children who are excited and happy to come to school every day to learn, grow and develop.

We offer many opportunities for our parents and the local community to share in our students' learning and encourage our parents to attend academy events.
