About Secondary Education at Harris:
The Harris Federation is the most successful large multi-academy trust across a number of key performance measures at secondary level. The average Progress 8 score for the Harris Federation in 2016/17 was +0.57 compared to -0.03 nationally. Put into context, this means that on average, students at Harris Federation academies achieve 4 grades better across their best 8 subjects, than other schools nationally.
The Harris Federation is the leading large Multi Academy Trust in the country for both primary and secondary education. We have an established reputation in transforming education in London and an unrivalled track record in achieving success through rapid school improvement.
Harris is a Federation and not a chain; each academy is different, reflecting the particular aspirations and leadership style of its Principal. Our vision is that Harris academies work collaboratively in sharing school improvement strategies, and support one another as part of the wider Harris Federation. We look for talented individuals who want to help transform education in London, and create exceptional places of learning.
NEXT STEPS
Informal conversations to discuss the programme, and leadership opportunities across the Federation are welcomed. If you would like to discuss the post in confidence please call Sir Dan Moynihan, CEO, on 020 8253 7777. For further information, please contact harry.bond@harrisfederation.org.uk.

The Harris Federation is a not-for-profit educational charity with almost 25 years of education experience in and around London. Our primary, secondary, all-through and sixth form academies have an international reputation for delivering a step change in education standards.
In joining a Harris Academy, you will be working with some of the country’s most exceptional teachers, support staff and leaders. There are frequent opportunities for internal exchange and promotion; our CPD is regularly described as Outstanding; and we have a package of staff benefits that rivals the most competitive of other professions.
Each Harris Academy is led and run by its senior leaders and has its own curriculum and way of doing things. What our Academies share, however, is a commitment to giving their children and teenagers an excellent education within a happy, caring and supportive environment.
There are Harris Academies in many different settings – inner city and suburban – but they are all within a maximum ninety minute commute from each other. This enables a highly collaborative structure, with on-call support from the Harris Federation.
