Story

Harrison attended Manorfield Primary and Nursery school from reception to year 6, touching the hearts and lives of all those who knew him with his cheeky wit and zest for life. After initially being diagnosed with a brain tumour, whilst in Year 1, his trademark strength and determination enabled him to overcome this. He returned to full-time school with him ringing the bell in March 2021, symbolising he was finally in remission. School life began to return to some form of 'normal' with Harrison attending residentials, pantomime visits, sporting events and school productions, to name just a few. It therefore came as a massive shock, when at the end of Year 5, it was discovered that a more aggressive form of cancer had returned and was tragically terminal. Despite the interventions of medical professionals, Harrison passed away, leaving a huge hole in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.

Manorfield staff, alongside Harrison’s mum and dad, are undertaking numerous challenges, including a 14-mile trek across the North Downs and the Brighton Marathon to fundraise for Shooting Stars Children's Hospice that supported and cared for Harrison and his family in his final months.

Harrison would face any challenge with bravery, a joke, and a smile, and we intend to do the same! We endeavour to make him proud!
