As Headteacher of The John Harrox Primary School I am delighted to introduce you to our vibrant and welcoming community. 

At The John Harrox Primary School, we are confident that we provide a stimulating and inclusive learning environment where pupils of all abilities flourish. Our commitment is to ensure every child experiences success in all aspects of their education and personal development.

We believe in nurturing every pupil’s potential by:

• Encouraging a love of learning through engaging and challenging lessons
• Supporting pupils to take on leadership roles within the school community
• Providing opportunities for pupils to represent the school in local events
• Offering a rich variety of activities both during and after the school day

These opportunities help pupils develop confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of belonging.

Our school’s vision and values are the foundation of everything we do. We believe that every member of our community should feel safe, secure, and happy. Central to our ethos are the Five Cs that we encourage all our pupils to embody:

• Caring – showing kindness and empathy towards others
• Courteous – treating everyone with respect and good manners
• Conscientious – taking pride in one’s work and behaviour
• Considerate – being thoughtful of others’ feelings and needs
• Co-operative – working well with others to achieve shared goals

These values shape not only our pupils’ behaviour but also the supportive, nurturing atmosphere that defines our school.

Our school community is much more than just a place to learn. It is a place where pupils are encouraged to:

• Develop leadership skills through roles such as school council representatives or playground buddies
• Engage actively in community projects and local partnerships
• Participate enthusiastically in school events, including sports days and arts showcases.

We take pride in seeing pupils grow into confident, caring individuals who are well-prepared for the next stage of their education and life beyond school.

We warmly invite you to explore our school further and see how The John Harrox Primary School can be the right place for your child’s educational journey. Please visit our website and Facebook page to get a fuller picture of life here.

Thank you for considering our school as the place where your child will learn, grow, and flourish. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you and your family into our school community.
