Hi, congrats you have made a great decision, I am a student at the academy and I started in the first year - now in year 9 - Harris boys is well disciplined, the teaching is great, the staff are understanding and our students are friendly, the schools aim is to make 100% progress per student, each student will have a mentor and will be checking to keep track, students make 4 sub levels high within the year and if your son does not, they collapse his timetable to give him more hours of the lessons he is struggling in so he can get his grades, this will help him to achieve what grades he needs so he is ready for KS4 - and I believe his year group will be the last ever to do GCSEs as the government are planning to bing back O level GCE - Harris boys provides you with fantastic experiences and trips and almost all of them are free i.e I have been to the UKSA at Isle of Wight and this year I am going to thorpe park, students also go to resedential sport trips (pay for) and this year they have been skieeing to Spain, there is a bright future waiting for you son and as I am a learning commissioner I will help to welcome him in the school and make him settle at our academy
