As a result, the quality of education does not vary significantly between different subjects or teachers and is of a consistently high standard. Leaders communicate information to governors extremely well so that together they can make informed decisions about improvements.

In partnership with Harris Federation, they check all aspects of the provision including the quality of assessments, the results of internal and external examination and the quality of teaching.

Today is National School Governors' Awareness Day and we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our governors for their commitment, enthusiasm and contribution.

In our recent inspection, inspectors found that Governors and leaders have an excellent understanding of the strengths and areas for improvement at the college. This is because leaders have exceptionally rigorous quality monitoring in place.

Student Leadership

Student Leadership is central to the success of our academy and our students. Through our academy student leadership offer, we will deliver leadership opportunities that give you the confidence to impact the world around you, to take on challenges and to lead others.

Leadership flows through everything we do at the academy, it is integral to the learning of all students and built into our cultural perspectives, sport and enrichment. There are also many formal leadership opportunities, where you can play a role in shaping academy systems and culture and affecting change.

Leadership opportunities and development at the academy will reflect those available in employment and higher education and offers real world leadership skills and responsibility. We want you to leave us with the knowledge and skills that leaders need to make a difference. As well as the extensive in-house offer, you are able to access opportunities for external accreditation.

We have defined five facets of leadership that you can gain experience in. These are:

  • Self-motivation and self-reliance
  • Reflection and emotional intelligence
  • Influencing others and making change happen
  • Developing others through coaching and mentoring
  • Project management

At Harris Clapham Sixth Form you will be able to develop these Facets of Leadership through the Leadership Oppertunities provided.
