Welcome to Harris Academy Clapham.

I am proud and privileged to welcome you to Harris Academy Clapham. We are a fantastic and ambitious academy that opened our doors to our first group of Year 7 students in September 2020. The academy is for boys and girls, of mixed ability and aged from years 11 to 16.

2 December 2024Attendance Breakfast'At Harris Clapham, we recently celebrated the outstanding achievement of over 350 students who achieved 100% attendance, with a special breakfast event to recognise their dedication and hard work. These students were invited as a heartfelt thank you for their consistent commitment to being present and engaged in their learning throughout the term. The breakfast celebration was not just a gesture of appreciation, but also a moment to highlight the importance of regular attendance in achieving academic success. Consistently attending school enables students to make the most of every learning opportunity, ensuring they stay on track with their studies and build the knowledge and skills necessary for future success. The event served as a reminder that positive attendance habits are closely linked to improved attainment, greater confidence, and a stronger work ethic. By attending school regularly, these students have set a positive example for their peers, demonstrating the impact that dedication and perseverance can have on future goals. The celebration was a way of encouraging all students to maintain their focus and strive for excellence, reinforcing the message that success is built on consistent effort. The school community at Harris Clapham takes great pride in these achievements and looks forward to seeing these students continue to thrive academically, supported by the strong foundation of regular attendance.'
