Place Farm Primary Academy

Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Place Farm Primary Academy 

On behalf of the children, staff and governors, we would like to welcome you to Place Farm Primary Academy. 

Place Farm is a two-form entry academy in the heart of the Haverhill community and a proud member of Unity Schools Partnership. We work closely alongside Coupals Primary Academy through a distributed leadership model, enabling staff and leaders to collaborate across both schools, share expertise and continually strengthen the educational experiences we provide. 

At Place Farm, we strive to be an excellent school where every child feels a strong sense of belonging, achieves highly and thrives. Through excellent teaching and learning, strong relationships, enrichment opportunities and an inclusive ethos, we work together to remove barriers and enable every child to fly.  

Our ambitious curriculum is underpinned by our PROUD values. We encourage all members of our community to be Professional, Resilient, Optimistic, Understanding and Driven. These values shape our culture and help children develop confidence, respect, resilience and a determination to be the very best they can be.  

We are proud to be a CUSP Lead School, modelling excellence in teaching, learning and curriculum development for other schools. We are also an IQM Flagship School, recognising our commitment to inclusion, belonging and ensuring every child succeeds. 

“Children and their learning are at the heart of Place Farm Primary Academy.” 

We are also proud of Little Stars Place Farm, our well-regarded nursery provision, where children benefit from excellent early years experiences that foster curiosity, confidence and a love of learning from the very beginning of their educational journey. 


We are immensely proud to lead this wonderful academy and hope our website gives you a flavour of the warm, ambitious and inclusive community that makes Place Farm such a special place to learn and grow.
