Welcome to Haberdashers’ Crayford Primary

Haberdashers’ Crayford Primary is a warm, inclusive and values-driven school, where a strong sense of community underpins everything we do. We are proud to serve a diverse community in which children and families feel respected, supported and celebrated.

Our staff are committed to giving every child the best possible start, laying the foundations for lifelong learning. We take a values-based approach to education, ensuring that alongside strong academic outcomes, children develop the confidence, empathy and character they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

A purposeful and enriching curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to reflect both the lived experiences of our pupils and the wider world. Through a global approach, including exploration of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we support children to become thoughtful, informed and responsible citizens.

Reading sits at the heart of our curriculum, with a strong focus on developing fluency, a love of stories and a deep understanding of the world. Alongside this, we provide a broad and balanced curriculum that builds core knowledge and cultural capital for all learners, including those with SEND.

The Haberdashers’ Advantage further enriches our offer, giving pupils access to meaningful experiences beyond the classroom and helping them to find their voice and sense of purpose.

A supportive and collaborative environment

At Crayford Primary, relationships are at the heart of our success. Staff work closely together and with families to ensure every child is known, supported and challenged to achieve their best.

Colleagues describe the school as collaborative, inclusive and supportive - a place where people feel valued and where there is a genuine sense of belonging. For staff, it is an environment where you can develop your practice, contribute to a committed team and make a lasting difference to children’s lives.

From early years through to the end of primary, we create a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment where children - and staff - can grow, succeed and thrive.
