We are oversubscribed and fortunate to have an amazing level of support from the community with waiting lists for entry into every year group of our academy.Our academy is an exceptional place to learn, providing an ambitious but happy and inclusive environment. We have high expectations of our students of all starting points and abilities. We know that our students will leave us academically successful, but we also want them to be well-rounded individuals with a highly developed social conscience, ready to lead in their communities and beyond. Our motto is ‘make a difference’ and our students and staff give nothing except their very best in pursuit of making a difference to their lives and the lives of others around them.Three words are crucial to how we guide students to be able to ‘make a difference’: independence, integrity and resilience.Independence means we support students to develop their skills and attributes, so they have everything they need to succeed. We set challenging targets and raise aspirations so every single one of our students reaches their potential.Integrity means staff and students must be fair and truthful and have the courage to take the right action in every situation, even when no-one is looking.Resilience means we give students the tools to recover from difficulties. We show students how taking risks and making mistakes is all part of the learning journey. We also show students how hard work brings success, and support them to persevere with all challenges.There is a great deal of collaborative working and sharing of good ideas about what works within secondary academies at Harris.
