Case Studies - Harris Science Academy East London

Community

“Every student is able to have a close and personal relationship with their teachers and they are able to feel appreciated and recognised for each and every one of their attributes and contributions.”

Transition

“The transition into the school was really smooth and I was really helped by the supportive teachers and the caring students around me.”

Extra-Curricular

“One unique aspect of this school that truly benefits the students is the leadership development days that provide experiences outside of the classroom that enrich their learning.”

Pastoral Care

“Teachers ensure that we are cared for by consistently checking up on us and focusing on our wellbeing.”

Tom Christopher

“Staff wellbeing is important. We ensure we plan staff socials and allow staff time for themselves – as well as marking, feedback, and all the things which are really important to the students’ successes.”

Melvin Hall

“We want to be the best school in Newham, and staff are on that journey with us. Staff put in a lot of effort because they care for the students. We're all in it together and that's a really lovely feeling.”

Imogen Krauze

"Although the school is thoroughly academic, it is also characterised by its warmth. Students are consistently reminded that they are welcome, they matter and they make a difference."

Semi Oni

"There is a strong culture of purposeful learning here, where lessons are carefully planned around explicit skills and students are encouraged to think deeply about what they are doing and why they are doing it."

Harry Rowntree

"HSAEL has allowed me to grow massively, and I have been able to establish new ideas and processes for my department in a supportive school that welcomes hard work and evidence informed innovation."
