The Harold Hill primary school where pupils take part in their own 'university'

"Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. The school places emphasis on pupils developing a strong sense of citizenship."

"Pupils get to take part in the school's 'University of Mead' at the end of each year, which encourages them to complete enrichment projects and develop their talents."

"Another example of the community-minded activities offered by the Harold Hill school each year is the 'Pupil Parliament' where children work with the school's leaders to ensure pupils' views are taken into account when key decisions are made."

"Ofsted inspectors noted in the report that the primary school has an ambitious curriculum and that reading is one of its strengths. Pupils of all ages read widely and with increasing confidence."
