We follow the philosophy of the PYP curriculum to take part in the rapidly changing world. DT encourages children to become creative problem-solvers, both as individuals and as part of a group. Through the study of DT children combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetic, social and environmental issues. This allows them to reflect on and evaluate designs and technology and its impact. The children will develop skills with design, making, evaluating processes and products across a range of skills as well as food hygiene.
The behaviour of pupils is outstanding…Pupils are proud to belong to the community of Hartley Primary Academy…Pupils’ conduct in lessons is exemplary.

The standards at Hartley Primary Academy are exceptional. They have been consistently above average over time.

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.
