Ethos and Values

Academy Ethos

At Harris Primary Academy Merton we believe that everybody has the right to feel safe, happy and respected.  WE understand that every member of our school community has the same rights: 

• everyone has the right to be safe
• everyone has a right to be treated with dignity and respect
• everyone has a right to feel happy
• the staff have a right to teach
• the children have a right to learn
• everyone has a responsibility to behave so that others can feel safe and learn

All adults in the academy are responsible for modelling high standards of behaviour in their dealings with children, parents and other members of staff. All children are treated fairly, but we also acknowledge individual needs. We expect all of our children to work to the best of their abilities and to allow others to do the same. Our expectations underpin our academy ethos:
