Hartburn Primary School is a highly effective organisation. The school is forward facing and determined to provide a bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of the children it serves. Every child deserves to maximise their full potential. This is proven through consistently high outcomes which have been sustained over the last five years.

Our bespoke Hartburn curriculum is underpinned by three main principles: High Expectations, Resilience and Local & Global Responsibility.
