Welcome from the Executive Principal
Welcome to Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park.
It is a great privilege to serve as Executive Principal of our academy and to be part of the vibrant and diverse community of Peckham. We are immensely proud of our school, our children and our families, and we have the highest ambitions for every pupil who joins us.
At Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park, we believe that every child deserves an exceptional education and the opportunity to flourish. We are committed to ensuring that all our children thrive both academically and socially, developing the knowledge, confidence and character they need to succeed at school and beyond.
Our children benefit from an enriched, broad and balanced curriculum which is carefully designed to inspire curiosity, develop strong foundations in learning and open doors to new experiences and possibilities. Alongside academic excellence, our exceptional personal development programme provides children with a wealth of opportunities to discover their talents, build confidence, develop leadership skills and contribute positively to their school and wider community. We want every child to leave us with high aspirations and a genuine belief in what they can achieve.
Our three core values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience are embedded in everything we do and are central to daily life at our academy. We encourage our children to treat others with kindness and dignity, to take responsibility for their learning and actions, and to demonstrate determination when faced with challenge. These values help create the positive, purposeful and caring culture that makes our academy such a special place.
We are particularly proud of the diversity of our community. Our families bring a wonderful range of languages, cultures and experiences to our school, reflecting the richness and energy of Peckham itself. We work hard to ensure that every child feels that they belong, that they are known and valued, and that they are proud to be part of our academy community.
Our ambition extends far beyond success in the classroom. We provide experiences and opportunities that enable every child to flourish academically, socially and personally. Through excellent teaching, rich educational experiences and strong partnerships with families, we aim to nurture happy, confident and successful young people who are ready to make a positive contribution to the world around them.
I warmly invite you to visit Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park to meet our wonderful children and dedicated staff and to experience our academy community for yourself. Please contact us to arrange a visit; we would be delighted to welcome you and your family.
