Beddington, United Kingdom HARRIS FEDERATION Full time

About Us

Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich is a thriving school that forms part of the Harris Federation, a network of schools known for their high standards and commitment to excellence. Our academy has a proven track record of outstanding performance, having been graded as outstanding in all areas by OFSTED in 2017 and 2023.

We pride ourselves on being a happy, welcoming, and inclusive school that supports a diverse range of families in our community. Our vision, 'Achieving Success Together,' recognizes the importance of collaboration between school and home in children's development. We encourage parents and carers to be active partners in their child's education, and we have a strong parent group that works tirelessly to promote the school, raise funds, and support learning.

We provide a vibrant learning environment that nurtures and supports children, encouraging them to take responsibility for their own learning and grow in confidence. In recognition of our commitment to this approach, we were awarded UNICEF's Rights Respecting School Award in 2017.

We offer an engaging and challenging curriculum that enables every pupil to achieve their full potential. Our teachers and pupils work together to create high-quality learning experiences that cater to individual needs. This includes well-structured lessons, opportunities to learn musical instruments, use new technologies, and participate in educational visits and residential trips in Key Stage 2.
