Our vision is to provide an excellent primary education so that every academy is a ‘GreatPlace2Learn.’ Our aim is to ensure that children at our academies enjoy the best education from the early years to the end of the primary stage. Parents are very important to achieving this vision and we aim to work in partnership with them to ensure that all our children achieve our motto: ‘Believe Achieve Succeed’. We believe that school should be a place where every child makes progress in a safe and supportive environment. We believe in the importance of children developing well-being and high self-esteem if they are to learn and do well.

We also believe in The Harmony Trust being a ‘GreatPlace2Work’ where staff are supported to thrive by a trust that is committed to learning and education.
