Transition Overview

Picture1Dear Parents & Carers,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you and your child to Harris Academy Clapham.

You may know that in February we had our first Ofsted inspection. As part of this, our work supporting the personal development of students was graded outstanding. I was very proud of the section of the report which stated, “Pupils speak glowingly about the support offered by teachers and leaders.”

The purpose of our Year 7 transition events and this section of our website is for us to learn as much as possible about your child. This will help us to provide this same support to them as they move into our Academy.

Please use our open events and our transition events as an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. My team will be on hand throughout this process to support you.

Finally, to help your planning for next year, we want to inform you about a change to the timings of our school day. From September 2024 the timings of the school day will be as follows:

  • Arrival: The Academy site opens at 7.45am. All students must be at line up at 8.25am
  • Departure: On Monday-Thursday lessons will finish at 3.20pm. On Fridays lessons will finish at 2pm

We strongly encourage your child to sign up for clubs after school. All students are expected to join at least one club. Students can also use our Library until 4pm to complete homework.

I look forward to meeting you and your child throughout the transition process and at our Year 7 Transition Events.

Ms. Gostling

Principal
