Harris Church of England Academy

Had to call GCSE exam boards to organise private exams with reasonable adjustments for my child with additional needs (diagnosed by NHS hospital consultant). Found alternative school which will support my child appropriately and legally. Harris is not understanding JCQ guidelines sufficiently (my meeting with exam boards confirmed this - I could not meet with JCQ as they do not deal with parents) and Harris's lack of understanding of appropriate reasonable adjustments is contravening Equality Act 2010. The actions of Harris could have had serious implications for my child if I didn't have funds for private exams. Harris staff turnover also extremely high since Sept 2019. Not recommended.

Pastoral care has gone out the window. The school now use punishments and punitive measures against students. You can have 1000s of positive behaviour points but if you get 10 negative points, you are put in isolation. Homeworks are set over holidays as they are catering to newly settled Indian community. Family members of the Head are staff at school and also attend the school so be careful when complaining. SEN children treated very poorly now.

I think I was conned into believing this is a good school and That communication between teachers and parents especially of those children who find hard to go to school is supportive how wrong can someone be I can’t stand to the school and I will try to get my daughter out and into another school ASAP only one teacher at the school has helped my daughter without judgement I have received threats of legal action when I’m the one contacting them for help there a joke please don’t send your child here

its alright, the uniform is bad, one time a teacher snatched my phone out my hand, its just like your average school but worse LOL

Not bad, at least the school is trying their best and cares I suppose
