The school is roughly three miles from Romford and nineteen miles from the centre of London. We are a ten minute walk away from Harold Wood shops and railway station and less than a mile from Junction 28 of the M25 and the A12.

The school has space for 315 pupils. Our youngest children are four years old and our oldest are eleven. There are forty-five children in each year group. We have classes of no more than thirty.

The school was built in 1929. In 1985 the Friends of Harold Court School built a new library.

In 2008 Havering Council built a new wing on the school to provide us with new classrooms and toilets.
