Happy Pupils Succeed! We are a happy, warm and friendly community school with pupils and families from a wide range of beliefs, cultures, and backgrounds and we celebrate this diversity whenever we can. There are over 20 different languages spoken by the families belonging to our school! Harborne is also a high-achieving school, with our results sitting in the top 25% of schools nationally. We are proud of our high standards of achievement and of the wide range of opportunities we offer our children – not just in academic subjects, but in the wider curriculum such as music, sport, and art. We value every child and believe that we provide an education that encourages many core learning values - including creativity, independence, thinking, and emotional intelligence. Children, staff, parents, and governors are on the journey of education as partners in learning, and we value highly the amazing support we receive from our parents. It is vitally important to us that parents and families share our vision, and work in partnership with us for the benefit of the children. Part two of our vision is to develop confident, successful children with a natural love of learning, through an aspirational and inspirational curriculum where everybody is valued. We believe that a successful start to your child’s education will enable them to become life-long learners and responsible citizens in our fast-changing world. We help them to succeed at Harborne Primary but aim to foster in them a desire to continue to succeed long after they leave us. At Harborne Primary School we see ourselves as a learning community where everyone works together on behalf of the children to maintain a happy and caring ethos in which children can achieve high standards of successful learning. "This is an outstanding school."
