Nestled in the picturesque Harmons Valley in South East Manchester, Harmons Primary and Infant School has been a cornerstone of education in this rural community since 1970. What began as an all-age institution has evolved into a dedicated Primary and Infant School, reflecting our commitment to providing age-appropriate, quality education tailored to our students' developmental needs. Our transformation from a multi-grade format to our current structure demonstrates our continuous pursuit of educational excellence.
Serving families from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, we understand the unique challenges our community faces and embrace our role as more than just an educational institution. We are a beacon of hope and opportunity, providing comprehensive support that extends beyond the classroom. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure every child receives the foundation they need to succeed, regardless of their family's circumstances.
Our campus features thoughtfully designed facilities across six buildings, including our primary section with six classrooms, administrative block with computer lab and library, infant section, cottage block, and specialized education facilities. We believe in nurturing the whole child through our diverse co-curricular programs, including Brownies, 4H club, Literacy and Numeracy clubs, Environmental club, and Dance, Music, and Drama Club. Through strong partnerships with our PTA, JAMALCO, Won by One to Jamaica, community churches, and local government representatives, we create a supportive network that empowers our students to thrive.
Under the leadership of Principal Dervan Wright and Vice Principal Tyson Ennis, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing quality education that transforms lives and builds futures. Every day, we work to live up to our motto: 'Strive for Excellence,' ensuring that each child who walks through our doors is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in life.
