"Happy pupils succeed at Harborne Primary"

The phrase 'Happy Pupils Succeed' is more than just a motto, it's a way of life at Harborne Primary School. My child loves coming to school and the teachers are always looking for ways to make learning fun. The school's commitment to cultural appreciation is also evident in the way they celebrate different festivals and traditions.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We were happy with our experience at Harborne Primary School, the teachers were friendly and the facilities were good. However, we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about what was happening. Overall, a good school but with some areas for improvement.
