Harris Primary Academy Orpington

About Harris Primary Academy Orpington 

Harris Primary Academy Orpington is an ambitious and welcoming academy located less than twenty minutes from both Orpington and St Mary Cray train stations, with ample on-site parking also available.

We believe that every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to be happy, secure and successful. Our large grounds support a rich extra-curricular offer and allow us to take learning beyond the classroom - including through Forest School in our dedicated Learning in Nature woodland. At the heart of our academy is our dedicated Additional Resource Provision for Autism (ARP), supporting eighteen children. This integral part of our community reflects our commitment to inclusivity and ensuring every child receives the tailored support they need to thrive.

Our aim is to provide every child with a well-rounded, ambitious and enjoyable education that enables them to succeed academically, physically and emotionally, preparing them for life beyond school.

Our Core Values - Ready, Respectful and Safe - underpin everything we do, creating a calm, purposeful environment where children can thrive. We are committed to moulding individuals to be the very best they can be - and we are relentless in our ambition for them. We are unapologetic in our belief that our children should have access to any opportunity offered in more advantaged settings. We believe in educational equity in its fullest sense - academically, culturally and socially. Whether through sport, music, the arts or academic excellence, we seek out and create opportunities that challenge expectations and raise aspirations.

That is the standard we set for ourselves, and the promise we make to our community.
