We value close professional relationships and, most importantly, our relationships with the families that we serve. Harlow Fields School and College came into existence in the late 1990’s (due to the amalgamation of Tye Green, The Mead and Commonside). Due to the commitment of our previous leadership team and devoted Governing Body, we have recently undergone further expansion by opening a dedicated 6th form area in September 2023. This area is furnished with modern facilities and our young people are exceptionally happy there!

Harlow Fields School and College is a place where pupils are kind and respectful to each other. Staff ensure that pupils, including those with the most profound needs, are safe and well cared for. Adults support pupils well to manage their complex emotions and feelings. This helps pupils to behave. On the playground, pupils interact positively with each other and staff.
