We want to create an engaging and educational outdoor space to support our youngest learners in all areas of their development. With this grant, we hope to:

✅ Purchase Early Years bikes and other equipment to build core strength and coordination.

✅ Install a water wall to spark curiosity in science and problem-solving.

✅ Develop a gardening and outdoor investigation area to help children connect with nature.

✅ Provide outdoor mark-making equipment to inspire creativity, writing, and drawing.

Your support will make a huge difference to our children’s learning and development.

Every vote counts—let’s make this happen together!

Welcome to Mrs Wilkinson in the school office

Mrs Wilkinson is already getting stuck in behind the scenes, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly so our students and staff have the best possible support. We're really happy to have her join the team!

Staff vacancy opportunity

There is an opportunity for an individual to join the admin and office team at Harris Primary School on Thursdays and Fridays.

The successful person will be the first point of call for all school visitors and, as such, will need to be friendly, efficient and proficient at multi-tasking. You will have excellent communication and ICT skills, with the ability to adapt to the demands of working in a busy school office.
