EYFS/KS1 Leader

The John Harrox Primary School is a very successful village primary school, committed to delivering a broad and creative curriculum and providing our pupils with access to a wide range of extra-curricular activities, excellent resources and facilities.  

Our ‘Pupils have developed, positive attitudes to learning and regularly show their determination to get things right. In lessons, they show their inquisitive natures and are attentive to their teachers and adults leading them. They are respectful and patient with each other and frequently offer to help if they see their classmates struggling. Positive, mutually respectful relationships are part of the fabric of the school.’ (Ofsted Nov. 2015). 

They are supported by our dedicated and highly skilled staff who are committed to giving them the very best start to their education.
