Oscar Wilde said “Why was I born with such contemporaries?” Gore Vidal went further with “It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.”These witty comments touch on a darker part of humanity, and one of the things I love most about schools is when they challenge this.

Academic Offer

Welcome to the curriculum information for Harris Clapham Sixth Form. Harris Clapham offers a wonderful and unique opportunity to students in Lambeth and beyond to come and get a brilliant all-round education. 

The academy offers a Level 3 curriculum package. This focuses on A-level and vocational courses. Students will also benefit from a first-class enrichment and personal social/health curriculum. We will particularly focus on developing students’ leadership skills, including in their local community. Please click on the leadership tab to find out more.

Our A levels include the ‘facilitating’ subjects that are the most valued by the best universities. Our state-of-the-art facilities enable every subject to be taught above and beyond the exam board specification. We offer separate sciences, mathematics and technological subjects. Other subjects include Government and Politics, drama and computing. 

Our vocational courses enable students to study the equivalent of one, two or three A-levels. These courses fully integrate the world of work into their delivery. Our resources include media, computing and art suites. Students use the latest technologies that are used in industry during their studies. We have prepared a summary of each subject (please click on each subject within the subject tab). The vocational courses include a variety of optional units - final decisions on these are made by teachers. The subject pages give a flavour, for example of the mandatory units that must be studied alongside the optional units.  

Please note that each year we cannot confirm whether all courses will run until after enrolment when we know final numbers.

From day one, students are preparing for the step up to university education and/or their chosen apprenticeship/work routes.

They work towards challenging academic goals; they develop the study skills of independent, adult learners; they are supported in preparing their applications, personal statements and interviews so they are ready to take on the competition! In addition to their A level and/or vocational courses, there are sessions that allow students to learn completely different things, often outside the box. These are called “Cultural Perspectives”. Students will choose a different perspective each term. There will also be a wide range of enrichment, work experiences and sporting opportunities to ensure a holistic education package is on offer.
