Welcome to Pemberley Academy
At Pemberley our ethos is ‘Exceptional Experiences Everyday’ and this forms the basis of everything that we do. From the quality of teaching that each child receives, to the volume and variety of after school clubs to the additional trips and visits our students can access, we believe that their time with us should reflect the quality of the experiences they are accessing.
We look to create an environment where children thrive, parents feel empowered and staff have the opportunity to develop, grow and constantly become better for the sake of the children they teach, creating learners who are confident, well equipped and ready to move on to the next phase of their life with gusto.
Our Vision
At Pemberley Academy, we are proud to be a supportive community that prepares our children to thrive in an evolving world. We nurture curiosity, inspire ambition, and guide every child on their journey to personal success. Through a rich and diverse curriculum, we aim to build cultural capital and empower our learners with the skills, resilience and values they need to shape their futures with confidence and creativity.
Our Values
To be:
Respectful ~ Curious ~ Resilient ~ Inclusive ~ Reflective ~ Trustworthy ~ Tolerant ~ Aspirational
Message from the Headteacher
As the Headteacher of Pemberley Academy, I am very excited about the changes and new opportunities ahead for our school. We are committed to ensuring that our pupils are at the forefront of everything we do and that all staff members have our pupils’ very best interests at heart, with positive relationships and an understanding of child development as key elements of our practice.
We are very proud of the welcoming, caring, and enthusiastic approach we have established at Pemberley and are highly ambitious for our pupils, always striving to ensure all children reach their full potential. Everyone at Pemberley has high expectations and aspirations for our children in terms of learning and behaviour; we expect all children to succeed. We are a very diverse school with an inclusive approach to education, and value all of our children equally.
We are also highly committed to our ethos of ‘Exceptional Experiences Everyday’ and will strive to ensure staff members go above and beyond to ensure the children have exceptional learning experiences, offering a range of extra-curricular opportunities and exciting learning experiences linked to the wider community and beyond. We are proud of our local area and the community links we have developed, both within our school community and Harlow, and look forward to continuing to develop these wonderful relationships.
I look forward to welcoming you to Pemberley Academy.

Learning & Development
The learning and development of the pupils is at the core of everything that is done at Pemberley and we focus on this everyday.
The teachers are continuously developing their own practice to ensure that children of all learning abilities are catered for and this is tracked by the school leadership every half term to build a picture of what every learner requires on their journey. We also work extensively with partners in the wider community to ensure that all pupils and their families are supported so each child develops rapidly.
School Trips
We aim to provide a school trip every half term and believe in the reach2 mantra of ’11 before 11’ which is the insistence of 11 quality experiences before each learner leaves us.
In the main the trips will be based around the topics the children are studying but some may be more general and look to broaden other aspects of the children life.
Physical Education
Physical education is an absolute cornerstone of life at Pemberley and the pupils have access to two sessions per week. These sessions will develop a love of Physical education and focus on high levels of activity, body management and movement as well as elements of competitive sport.
Our enrichment programme offers a variety of Physical education options including football, basketball, Zumba, Netball and Karate to name a few. We also offer outlets in the form of an extensive fixtures programme to allow our children to compete locally against other children.
Swimming is also part of our Key Stage 2 curriculum and pupils have the opportunity to swim once a week across two terms. We regularly have sports coaches visiting to run after school clubs.
