Statement of Curriculum Intent
Children are at the heart of Harrietsham Church of England Primary School. We are passionate about the development of the whole child so our curriculum, firmly rooted in our vision, is designed to enable each child to flourish.

The broad and balanced curriculum builds on the skills and understanding of our children from their various starting points.

Children leave Harrietsham as confident individuals, well equipped to participate fully in the next stage of their education with an awareness of the wider world.
