We try to link our DT links with Quest and science topics. Year 6 have designed and made beach buggies from their ‘Holiday Show Quest’, Year 5 have taken part in the Lego House Challenge, Year 4 have taken part in the K’nex Challenge and are visiting Milestone School to share their facilities and work alongside their students for Food Technology. Year 3 have enjoyed making healthy sandwiches and fruit skewers, linked to their Teeth and Eating project. Year 2 have made 3D mini beasts while Year 1 have designed and made Teddy Carts for their Quest about toys. In the Foundation Stage DT is child led.
The behaviour of pupils is outstanding…Pupils are proud to belong to the community of Hartley Primary Academy…Pupils’ conduct in lessons is exemplary.
Ofsted, March 2016
The standards at Hartley Primary Academy are exceptional. They have been consistently above average over time.
Ofsted, March 2016
The school provides a caring and supportive environment to children and there is a clear emphasis on enabling children to be the best they can be — both academically and as “people”.
A quotation from a member of staff, Ofsted Report, March 2016
I feel really safe at Hartley Primary Academy…all the teachers and my friends are all around me.
