Welcome from Miss Hanley

It is a pleasure to welcome you to our website.

Harris Primary Academy Mayflower is a successful academy that was judged outstanding in every category in our May 2017 Ofsted inspection. Our inspection in November 2024 confirmed that we have continued to hold our 2017 grades. 

We are a 5 form entry primary school, opening with a Reception cohort and are growing by a year group at a time with currently 1042 pupils on roll from Nursery to Year 6.  This will make our academy, which was funded under the free school programme with backing from Thurrock council, the Department for Education and the Harris Federation which sponsors the free school, the biggest primary free school in the country.

We are a sister school to Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred and Harris Academy Chafford Hundred, along with the other Academies in the Harris Federation.  We work very closely together and share the very best practice and leadership knowledge and capacity to make the education we offer outstanding.  Our shared belief is that children thrive when they feel consistently happy and safe at school and our commitment to excellence is encapsulated in our vision statement: "Excellence, Every child, Every day."

Our Core values of : Manners, Perseverance, Responsibility, Community and Achievement, underpin everything that happens at Harris Primary Academy Mayflower. They are our foundations and we have a clear expectation that all adults as well as children and staff model and respect these values both inside and outside the academy. This is reflected in both the exceptional day to day practice here as well as the outsanding outcomes our children have achieved each year.
