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.


  • 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.
