Harefield primary is a vibrant two-form entry school on the east side of Southampton, that has achieved a Gold award for being a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, an award we are extremely proud of.  

We will instil a sense of aspiration in our children, helping them to feel confident in themselves and their abilities. Our school is a place where respect for each other, oneself, and the school is second nature, and kindness is a natural part of our behaviour.  Every child will feel safe coming to school and know that the adults will be the duty-bearers of their rights.  All members of our community are valued and heard, and their successes are celebrated.

Harefield Primary School is part of the HAMWIC Education Trust. HET is a large, fast-paced trust with currently 35 academies across the South Coast. Linked to 6 community-based partnerships, there are 32 primary academies, 2 secondary and 1 hospital school.

To work at Harefield means being a crucial member of a hard-working and supportive team. Children are at the heart of everything we do, and we are all striving together to secure the best outcomes for all our children and to support their families throughout their primary school journey.
