From the The Harefield Academy
You can see from our vision and goals that we have unrelenting ambition for our students. We require that faculty and students share the highest standards of expectation and aspiration, and that we provide the ideal learning environment for such objectives to be realised. As a small school, we are able to provide a high level of pastoral care to our children, and they frequently express their satisfaction with how well staff members know them. The Academy's distinctive setting and array of activities provide the ideal foundation for success. Visitors from prospective students and employees are always welcome. The significant majority of guests who participated in our most recent Open Evening responded to our survey afterward, saying they were more likely to send their child to The Harefield Academy after meeting our students and learning more about us. If you would like to come and view what we have to offer, we always welcome bespoke visits. We hope you enjoy browsing our website in the meanwhile.
