    Did you know 70% of Harris academies are rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, compared to just 17% nationally? That is more than any other Trust or LEA. And not only that, 100% of our academies are rated 'Good' or above, compared to 89% of schools nationally. This is a huge achievement and only possible thanks to our continuously brilliant and hard working staff across the Federation. For all of our students, but especially the most disadvantaged, the quality of education at Harris really is life changing. Together, we're ensuring these young people get the education, opportunities, and life chances they deserve. #HarrisFederation #Education #Ofsted #Outstanding #SocialMobility

    More and more families in our 55 academies are living in poverty.    At its most extreme, 80% of children at Harris Primary Academy Peckham were classified as homeless.   To help this, we've set up Community Hubs in every Harris primary academy. Our Hubs provide a safe, discrete, and dignified place for families if they need support or access to items like groceries, toys, books, and pre-loved school uniforms.   We have been delighted with how many donors, friends, and corporate partners have contributed - whether it's by giving their time, volunteering, or donating items like nappies and children's shoes.    A donation of £100 would make a real and tangible difference; a donation of £1,000 would support families at one of our Hubs for an entire year. If you would like to get involved and support some of our most vulnerable families, please contact Emily Clarke.    #HarrisFederation #Education #Fundraising #Poverty #CommunityHubs
