A Message from the Head of Sixth Form
Sixth Form is so much more than the next stage of education. It is a journey towards adulthood; a time when young people discover their strengths, develop their independence and begin to shape the futures they aspire to achieve.
At Harris Academy Orpington Sixth Form, we are proud to provide an outstanding learning environment where students are challenged academically, supported personally and encouraged to think ambitiously about their future. We believe that every student has the potential to achieve great things, and our role is to provide the guidance, opportunities and encouragement to help them realise that potential.
Our vision is simple:
Achieve More. Experience More. Become More.
We support students to achieve more through excellent teaching, high expectations and personalised support. Small class sizes and strong relationships between students and staff ensure that every individual is known, valued and challenged to succeed.
We encourage students to experience more through leadership opportunities, enrichment activities, work experience, volunteering, educational visits and wider learning experiences that build confidence, resilience and character.
Most importantly, we help students become more. Whether their ambition is university, an apprenticeship or employment, we work alongside our students to develop the skills, knowledge and self-belief needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our Sixth Form is built upon the values of Tenacity, Ambition and Enterprise. These values underpin everything we do and help our students become confident, well-educated and enterprising young adults who are ready to make a positive contribution to society.
The relationships we build with our students are at the heart of our success. We are proud of the supportive and inclusive community we have created, where students are encouraged to aim high, embrace new opportunities and develop both academically and personally.
I hope this prospectus gives you an insight into the exciting opportunities available at Harris Academy Orpington Sixth Form. I look forward to welcoming you and supporting you on the next stage of your journey.
