Our Stories - Harris Academy Battersea

Yr 7 Transition

“The transition from primary school to Harris Academy Battersea was really good because I had supportive teachers to help me along the way.”

Pastoral Care

“At Harris Academy Battersea we like to think of ourselves as much like a family. We speak about kindness and how important it is to us. Making sure students always have a member of staff they can go to.”

Enrichment

“With our Monday enrichment programme, every single student gets to choose a club of their choice. We have over 20 different clubs from Tag Rugby and Basketball, to Crochet and Orchestra. It's incredible watching students taking their own personal journeys.”

Inclusion

“I feel included at Harris Academy Battersea because there is a lot of diversity. There is a range of different people from a range of different backgrounds and they are all equally supported.”

Robert Primus

“I wanted to make a difference to the lives of young people by sharing my passion for history. I’m stretched and challenged every day but feel fully supported having been a participant on the Federation’s Diverse Leaders Programme.”

Megan Greet

“Working within the Harris Federation has given me great opportunities to develop as a leader and build a really flexible skill-set and knowledge base. I joined as a lead practitioner and a year later gained promotion to Assistant Principal.”

Genevieve Bent

“Being a part of the Harris Federation network has been fundamental to my professional development. I have worked with amazing and inspirational colleagues, and I am fortunate to have built my career alongside them.”
