Mr A Henry, Headteacher
The history and design of our school badge invites you to learn more about our school. It is both distinctive and attractive and was most recently updated in December 2022. Its evolution over the years, since its birth can be seen in the images below.
The three notched Saxon (seaxes) on the top right hand corner are symbolic of the county of Essex flag. The rivers shown on the top left capture the schools proximity to the River Ingrebourne which flows in and around Havering, past and through Harold Wood and Harold Park. The tree, centre bottom is believed to depict the Harold Wood and Pages Wood region which are so important to the area. The most recent additions include the crown, which represents the prestigious visit of the late Queen Elizabeth II to the school in 2003. Below the badge, our banner now features our motto 'Committed to Success for All' which also captures the ethos of our school. The year the school first opened, 1934, is embedded in one of the 3 seaxes and the additions of the reed's, represent William the Fleming's holdings, Redene 'Reed Valley' on the site in 1212.
The school enjoys a rich history and is looking forward to its 90th Anniversary celebrations in 2024. We are delighted to share a little bit of this history through the narration of our badge and are proud to be a forward thinking community which provides an excellent education to our students.
