From the Harris Primary Academy Crystal Palace
A two-form entry school, Harris Primary Academy Crystal Palace (HPACYP), is located in Penge, a neighbourhood in the London borough of Bromley. Since HPACYP is an inclusive academy, we want all of our students—from Nursery to Year 6—to have genuinely positive school experiences. We work hard to make sure every student feels safe and appreciated. Every day in class, the kids' accomplishments are recognised, and we're proud of how nice, considerate, confident, and ready to learn they are. We think that all kids can achieve to a high standard with the help of qualified instruction and encouragement. Ultimately, we want our students to feel successful in both their academic and extracurricular endeavours when they leave our school. The chances that secondary school will present to our students are ones for which we want them to be well equipped. The HPACYP is a true community school. We are aware that for children to learn and develop as people, a strong partnership with parents is essential. We consequently make every effort to inform and involve parents in all facets of school life. Please come and visit us if you'd like to learn more about our school and speak to as many students and staff members as you can. Our anticipation for meeting you is high.
