My team and I are delighted to welcome you to the Harpole Primary School website! We hope you find the information you're looking for here, but you're also more than welcome to come and visit us in person if you'd like to learn more or see at firsthand what makes Harpole such a special place.
I have the great privilege of leading the school's dedicated and caring team, all of whom are committed to providing the very best learning experience for our children. Our goal is to ensure that every pupil leaves us not only academically prepared for secondary school but also confident, resilient and emotionally equipped for the next stage of their education.
We are very fortunate to have the support of the Combined Harpole Charity Trust, whose ongoing contributions allow us to enrich our curriculum through specialist teaching in sport, music, and art. The trust's input has also enabled us to undertake a significant refurbishment of the school, creating a warm, welcoming and inspiring environment for all.
We also highly value and celebrate our strong links with the local community, including All Saints Church Harpole, Harpole Football Club, the local schools cluster and the Northampton Sports Partnership.
