Our Vision
Our Mission Statement
We believe that confidence, self-esteem and strong moral values are the key to successful futures; that all children can make a difference in the world they live. Therefore at HPACH we develop a 'can-do' attitude; empowering every member of the school family to embrace challenge, take risks and aspire to achieve.
Our Ethos
Learning is at the heart of all we do; learning for children, staff and parents. Our ethos is embedded in our belief that high expectations achieve high outcomes. We also believe in building confidence by giving children opportunities to achieve through challenging and creative learning experiences.
However, academic attainment is not enough. We want to help develop and nurture children who care enough to make a difference in the world. Therefore, we emphasise strong moral values which together form the daily diet at Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred.
Our teachers and leaders are ambitious for the children and families of Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred.
We have high expectations for behaviour and learning and therefore high expectations of outcomes for children.
We want to raise standards and expectations by making sure that, whatever a child’s background or starting point is, they finish Year 6 with the academic skills, social skills and knowledge necessary to succeed.
This is brought about by having systems and processes that ensure good behaviour; engaging and rigorous teaching; learning and assessment combined with detailed monitoring of achievement and personalised target setting.
Teachers know and understand children as individuals and provide specific support or challenge to ensure they are making a strong level of progress in all their areas of learning. Whenever a child needs extra support, we plan work for them in small groups or on a one-to-one basis to give them the additional tuition they require.
Children with an identified Special Educational Need or disability will be assessed to be included on the Special Educational Needs register. Provision for these children is then mapped to ensure that they are able to access the full range of curriculum opportunities to progress and succeed.
