Harborne Primary School is a coeducational primary school in the Harborne area of Birmingham, West Midlands, England, for pupils aged 4 to 11. As of September 2014, the school has 629 students.[3]

History

The Edwardian infant school opened in 1902; a junior school was added to the site in 1912. In September 2000 the two schools were merged, forming Harborne Primary School as it is today.[4]

School fire

On 27 April 2011, a roof fire caused significant damage to the structure of the junior school.[5] More than 60 firefighters tackled the blaze. None of the pupils or staff were injured. The infant school reopened a week later, with the juniors moved to nearby Harborne Hall hotel for six months whilst the rebuild took place.[6] Birmingham City Council awarded the school £1.3 million for the rebuild project, which was completed a year later, in April 2012.[7]
