Harbour Primary and Nursery School is a 516-pupil school in the coastal town of Newhaven, East Sussex. It was formed from the merger of Grays Infant School and Southdown Junior School in January 2013.
Newhaven is a town with challenges. There is a significant amount of social housing in the town and several of Harbour’s families are homeless and live in temporary bed and breakfast accommodation.
Headteacher Christine Terrey and her staff have been motivated by a strong desire to support the achievement of all children, particularly those with SEN and/or disabilities (SEND).
Just over 14 per cent of Harbour’s pupils are classified School Action (the national average is 9.7 per cent) and 18.4 per cent are School Action Plus or with a SEND statement (the national average is less than eight per cent).
