SEN & ALG Administrator - South East London, United Kingdom - Harris Federation

Description

Working With 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 .
