Nursery at Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
London is the nursery class name at Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park, giving this school’s youngest provision a distinct identity within its early years team. The academy sits on Marmont Road in Peckham. Nursery places are advertised, so families can make a direct enquiry about joining.
The school aims to address children’s individual needs through personalised learning. For a parent choosing an early start within a primary school, the concrete detail is the connection between nursery teachers and specialist support: a speech and language therapist works with teachers on early intervention for nursery children.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides the framework for early learning here. In plain parent language, the school aims for children to begin building knowledge about subjects, explain what they understand in their own words and make connections between ideas. The school treats this stage as the beginning of children’s subject learning, rather than a separate prelude to it. That gives the nursery a place within the academy’s wider curriculum thinking.
Across the academy, the named approach is mastery: the school defines this as developing understanding more deeply before moving children ahead. It aims for children to explain their learning and connect ideas. This is the school’s curriculum philosophy, rather than a claim about how quickly an individual nursery child will progress.
Speech and language support has a specific nursery connection. A therapist collaborates with teachers on early intervention, bringing specialist expertise into children’s early education. For families concerned about communication, this is a practical link between teaching and additional support.
Additional learning support staff work within the academy, and specialist services contribute where a child needs an adapted curriculum or an individual programme. The school also assesses children who join with little experience of schooling or who are beginning to learn English. These arrangements give families identifiable routes into a discussion about their child’s needs.
Parents can contact the SENCO at senco@harrisprimarypeckhampark.org.uk. Welfare concerns can be raised with the academy through info@harrisprimarypeckhampark.org.uk or by telephone. The school asks families to contact it about concerns for a child’s safety, making that a direct route for raising a worry.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the deadline for their child’s entry year. Treat choosing the nursery and applying for Reception as two separate decisions.
For the 2026/2027 Reception cycle, Southwark Council managed applications through eAdmissions. Families could rank up to six schools in preference order. Those living outside Southwark had to apply through their home local authority, including when choosing a Southwark school.
The closing date for that cycle was 15 January 2026, which has passed. It should not be used as the deadline for a later intake.
Nursery enquiries can go directly to the academy’s admissions team on 020 7639 6091. This gives families a school contact for starting the application process. Keep that nursery enquiry separate from the council application for Reception: contacting the academy about a nursery place does not replace the later application.
