"5 stars - A caring community at the heart of Harthill!"

We moved to Harthill a year ago and couldn't be happier with our choice. The school's values of Belonging, Ambition, Resilience and Kindness really shine through in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. My daughter loves attending the Breakfast Club and Wraparound Care, and we've noticed a huge improvement in her confidence since starting the school.

"A wonderful village school with a heart of gold"

We moved to a new home and our child had to leave Harthill Primary, but what a wonderful experience they had. The school's commitment to reading for pleasure really helped our child develop a love for books, and the teachers were always supportive and approachable. We were also impressed by the school's facilities, especially the playground and the sensory garden.

"Room for improvement, but a great little school"

We've been at Harthill Primary for a few months now, and while the teachers are lovely and the values are great, I feel like the school could do more to engage some of the older children. The curriculum seems a bit lacking in some areas, and I've noticed that some kids are getting bored with the lessons. However, the school does a great job with the younger kids, and the facilities are nice and clean.
