Welcome to Harris Academy Aspire

Vision and Ethos 

Since opening its doors in 2013, Harris Aspire Academy has been committed in its vision to provide an outstanding education to all of its students overcoming barriers that may have prevented them from engaging fully in mainstream education.  The Academy is part of the Harris Federation whose name is synonymous with setting standards of excellence and fulfilling high expectations.  I firmly believe that a strong, embedded culture of expectations of behaviour, coupled with a high standard of teaching and support, work to ensure a positive, successful learning environment that keeps all students engaged in the learning process.  My ambition is to drive the accomplishments of the Academy further, enabling our young learners to develop and achieve the essential skills needed to be happy, confident and successful in order to flourish in adult life.  The curriculum offer at Harris Aspire Academy is designed to meet the social and educational needs for students at a personalised level, delivered by highly trained and fully committed staff.

The Academy admits cohorts in year 10 and 11 delivering both Level 2 and Vocational pathways.  Please refer to our curriculum policy to see in detail what we offer.

Thank you for taking the time to view the website.  If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us at Info@harrisaspire.org.uk
