Teaching & Learning

At Harris Academy Beulah Hill, we want our students to be scholarly, aspirational, and compassionate. 

• Scholarly, in their determined and thoughtful approach to work; 

• Aspirational, in their desire to overcome challenges and succeed; and 

• Compassionate, in the way they treat others with kindness and care. 

Our mission is to provide a stimulating, inclusive, and enriching educational environment where all students can achieve their full potential. Our Teaching and Learning Policy is designed to support our commitment to high standards and continuous improvement in teaching practices, thereby ensuring the best possible outcomes for our students.

The Academy aims to:

• Meet the needs and aspirations of all students, including those with SEND, those whose who are disadvantaged in any way or students who may face other barriers to their learning. 
• Ensure all students can successfully access the curriculum offer, making any reasonable adjustments required where particular needs are identified
• Recognise high achieving students and ensure they are given opportunities to stretch and challenge their learning
• Plan opportunities for students to develop their personal potential
• Establish an agreed range of policies and practices to guarantee a consistent approach towards learning and teaching in every classroom.
• Involve all staff in developing and improving the quality of learning and teaching
• Provide all staff with developmental opportunities to extend and enhance their range of teaching and repertoires
• Develop staff to deliver skills beyond their own subject specialism and incorporate cross curricular initiatives, in particular Literacy and Numeracy. 
• Identify students’ achievements and areas for improvement, through rigorous monitoring of progress and to plan appropriate interventions to enhance learning
