Our Aims

To open more doors than any other provider by empowering every student to achieve their ambitions and make a positive contribution to the world around them.

At Harris Sixth Form, we believe that exceptional outcomes come from exceptional opportunities, high expectations and a commitment to personal growth.

Every student joins a community that is ambitious, inclusive and supportive, where academic success is matched by the development of the confidence, character and skills needed for university, apprenticeships and future careers.

Together, our students and staff are committed to:

• Aspiring to excellence by striving for the highest standards in learning, attendance, punctuality, professionalism and personal conduct.
• Achieving exceptional outcomes through academic challenge, expert teaching and a determination to fulfil individual potential.
• Developing lifelong skills by strengthening literacy, numeracy, critical thinking and independent learning, whatever programme of study is chosen.
• Leading with purpose by making a positive contribution to the Sixth Form community through leadership, mentoring, volunteering and enrichment.
• Preparing for the future by engaging fully with careers education, work-related learning and university and apprenticeship opportunities to secure ambitious and sustained destinations.
• Embracing wider opportunities through masterclasses, Harris Experience Advance, Harris Scholars, enrichment programmes, educational visits and federation-wide events that broaden horizons and raise aspirations.
• Growing as individuals by developing resilience, confidence, wellbeing and the personal qualities needed to thrive in higher education, employment and adult life.

Every Harris Sixth Form is different, but these shared aims unite our community and ensure that every student benefits from the ambition, expertise and opportunities of the Harris Federation.
