About Us

Harris Primary Academy South Kenton (HPASK) is a five-form entry school situated in South Kenton, which is part of the London Borough of Brent. HPASK is an inclusive academy and we want every one of our children, from Early years to Year 6, to have a truly happy experience at school. We strive to ensure that every pupil feels valued and safe. The children's achievements are celebrated every day in their lessons and we are proud that they are kind, caring, self-assured and eager to learn. We believe that through expert teaching and support all children can achieve to a high standard. Ultimately, our aim is to make sure that our pupils leave us feeling that they have succeeded both academically and in the extracurricular aspects of school life. We want our pupils to be thoroughly prepared for the opportunities that secondary school will offer them. HPASK is very much a community school. We know that a close partnership with parents is vital if children are to learn and grow as individuals. We therefore do all we can to keep parents informed and involved in all aspects of school life. HPASK joined the Harris Federation in September 2024, so you will be joining our team at a really exciting time as we establish ourselves in our local community. If you would like to find out more about our school please do come and visit us and talk to as many children and staff as you can. We are very much looking forward to meeting you.
