King Harold Academy. Where Teachers love Teaching.
We love teaching. Simple. We love it when students "get it". When they have that penny drop moment after struggling and thinking hard. We love class discussions, we love silent contemplation and study, we also love students working together.
At King Harold Academy we love developing our teaching. This is why we send students home early on a Tuesday and spend two hours each week, talking collaborating and planning our teaching, and we all leave before 5pm. We understand that great teaching is the reason why students at King Harold are great learners. Nothing trumps great pedagogy.

To this end we have take innovative approaches to developing teaching practice which is rooted in, and informed by evidence of "What works". Our philosophy of teaching is underpinned by Professor Rob Coe's statement that "Learning happens when you think hard". Together, across subjects and experience we work tirelessly and collaboratively on our pedagogy.
Because of our insistence on teaching that challenges, our students are; studious, hard working, resilient and resourceful. They know how to learn and they realise the importance of "thinking hard".
