Vision

As a Progress Leader, it is my job to ensure that all students have the opportunities to reach their full potential in a safe and positive learning environment where students are supported physically, emotionally, and socially to enable them to thrive.

Within Year 8, students have opportunities to undertake activities outside of the curriculum to gain experiences and enhance skills.

Year 8 is a very important year for students in providing the knowledge needed to expand in year 9 towards their GCSEs. The foundations provided in KS3 enable students to excel in KS4 years. At Harborne we believe that we provide ‘Exceptional Provision for Exceptional Students’.
