Welcome to Haxby Road Primary Academy! I am delighted and proud to be the Head of School at such a fun, inclusive and vibrant school where pupils, staff, governors, parents and the school community work extremely hard and have high expectations of one another. We are committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning-achieved through a combination of challenge, support, encouragement and praise to ensure that all pupils fulfil their potential.

At Haxby Road Primary Academy we have three core virtues which are at the heart of our school. These are Trust, Kindness and Self Belief. You will find a welcoming and purposeful environment, where relationships are built on trust and kindness. Our supportive pastoral system helps pupils to achieve beyond their expectations and develop a strong sense of responsibility for themselves and belonging to their peers and the wider world. Promoting children’s self-belief is at the heart of our philosophy; we support this through nurturing pupil’s creativity, encouraging independent thinking and learning and showing that mistakes can be a learning opportunity. These core virtues enable our pupils to achieve their full potential and develop skills for lifelong learning. We aim to enable children to recognise the positive contribution that they and others are able to make to our diverse, ever-changing society, both near and far.

We believe in working in partnership with parents, carers and members of the local community and wider community in order to fulfil this aim. We have high expectations of everyone and we are never complacent, constantly striving to improve on our previous best. We are creating futures for everyone, our staff, our families and communities and, of course, our children.
