About Us
Harmondsworth Primary School is
situated on the edge of the village of Harmondsworth close to Heathrow
Airport and the Bath Road. The present school was completed in 1975 in
the grounds of the previous school building which was erected in 1907
and is now used as a village Community Centre.
Our school aims
to serve its community and, in partnership with the community, aims to
produce confident, responsible, well educated pupils, in an environment
which values effort as well as recognising achievement.
Our school is a partnership of Children, Staff, Parents and Governors
with the children as its focus.
Our
aim within the school is to assist children to achieve their maximum
potential in a happy, lively and carefully planned environment, which
will respond to the needs of every child in a sensitive, caring and
flexible manner.
We offer children opportunities to learn about
and explore the surrounding world, their peers and
themselves. We
aim to provide a variety of teaching resources and methods.
Children are helped to monitor success and failure and develop positive
self-images.
Our School Log Books show there has been a school
in the village for over 100 years. The villages of Harmondsworth and
Longford are served by the school, as are areas along the Bath Road and
parts of West Drayton. We are a "village" school, unique in the London
Borough of Hillingdon, maintaining strong local contacts and ties with
the village. Parents are most welcome to visit at any time. In order to
ensure that the headteacher is available, it is advisable to make an
appointment beforehand.
