Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Newhall Primary Academy and Nursery.

Our school opened in September 2018. We are a two-form entry primary school in Harlow and this year is the first year the school is full with our first Year 6 cohort. We are now at full capacity with 420 children in the main school.

We are a warm and welcoming school and nursery with state-of-the-art facilities including

  • bright and modern classrooms and learning areas
  • an arts studio
  • a cookery room
  • a library
  • large fields and playground spaces

Our staff are a dedicated team who strive to give the best for all children at Newhall. We have a well-structured curriculum, aiming for high academic standards across all subjects. Our children experience a broad and exciting curriculum which ensures opportunities for learning are maximised both in and outside the classroom. At the heart of our curriculum is reading: we ensure our children are confident readers who are well-equipped to meet the demands of our curriculum and develop a love of a range of books and authors.

We create a safe and calm environment for our children to learn where everyone is valued, respected and included. We ensure our children are well equipped to thrive in the world around them, ensuring we cater for their social and emotional needs.

Our core values of kindness, integrity and commitment underpin everything we do and strive to do.

Links between our school and local community are very important to us. We have a very active PTA ‘Friends of Newhall’ who facilitate a wide range of activities for our children, raising money for our school and charities.

I look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Mr B Duffy
