London, United Kingdom HARRIS ACADEMY CLAPHAM Full time

About Us

The vision of Harris Academy Clapham is a simple one. From our opening in September 2020, our academy is a place where ‘everything is possible'.

The Clapham curriculum is designed to meet the needs, aspirations and abilities of every one of our students. Our aim is to improve their life chances and enable them to make a positive contribution to the city and world in which they live.

At Harris Clapham, the curriculum is delivered through high-quality teaching. This is codified in our research-informed approach to pedagogy, which we call the Clapham Way. The following principles apply in our curriculum:

  • Subject specific knowledge and skills come first
  • Embedding and building on the basics – ensuring that every student acquires the vocabulary, literacy and numeracy skills to enable them to fully participate in society
  • The curriculum must be rigorous and relevant by engaging with the best of what has been thought and said and acknowledging that knowledge is fluid and can be contested
  • The curriculum must prepare for life in modern Britain and beyond, and enable Clapham students to understand their rights and fulfil their responsibilities under the Equality Act.

Through the Clapham academic, enrichment and pastoral curriculum we expect our students to develop powerful knowledge and the following values and character attributes that will enable them to achieve our vision that ‘Everything is Possible'.

Endeavour for excellence

  • Learning to work hard and relish challenge.
  • Learning to never give up.
  • Learning to take sensible risks.
  • Learning to always strive for the best for themselves and each other.

Integrity and honesty

  • Always acting with kindness.
  • Treating others the way they would like to be treated.

Self-belief with a global view

  • Growing to have the agency to achieve their ambitions for themselves and the wider world.

Our staff are supported in their work and in developing their future careers via:

  • A centralised behaviour system, with each year group supported by non-teaching pastoral leaders
  • A programme of instructional coaching, supported by the Step Lab platform
  • Access to a wide range of National Professional Qualifications delivered by the Institute of Teaching
  • Federation subject consultant support
  • Harris Federation professional development training days and networking support.

  • Liaising with the local authority when cases of poor attendance reach the level of legal intervention
  • Maintaining the confidential records of support for all students referred
