From the Harold Wood Primary School
Welcome to Harold Wood Primary School's web home. Located in Harold Wood in the London Borough of Havering, Harold Wood Primary School is a neighbourhood elementary school serving students between the ages of 4 and 11. We were opened as a 2 form entry but in January 2013 the school began to expand year on year to 3 form entry, which will be completed in September 2020. The location has a large building and a lot of open space behind it. We have 90 students admitted for Reception, Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3. The school will grow until it reaches its maximum size in 2020. Every child, in our opinion, possesses a special gift and the potential to accomplish great things. Because of this, we work hard to provide every child with the best learning opportunity. Everything we do is centred on ensuring the health, safety, and development of our children. Each of our governors has taken on a responsibility and an interest in specific facets of school life, and they all play a crucial supportive role. There are several aspects to Harold Wood Primary School. We are proud of our hardworking, compassionate team who give the kids a solid educational foundation while meeting all of the demands of the National Curriculum. If you would like any more information about our school, I encourage you to come and visit us or use the 'contact us' feature.
