About Us

Harris Primary Academy Coleraine Park is an Outstanding primary academy and we have high expectations and aspirations for your children.

All our staff aim to give every child an exceptional education providing support, care, enrichment and challenge as they come through our doors.

We give them opportunities to enjoy their learning and prepare them for future academic success as well as happy lives.

We have a unique creative curriculum, a clear vision, high expectations, strong moral values and a love of learning. Our academy is a multi-cultural, multi-faith family where children learn together. They respect and value each other.

We believe all children are special and we "dig for gold" in every child. This means encouraging children to do their very best, not settling for second-best.
