We ARE HARPER Commitments

“Discovering dreams, achieving ambitions and transforming lives.”

As a school, there are four main areas that we expect all our students to take responsibility for. We aim to make each individual central to their own education and support them in making positive choices, and through doing so, our students become more committed, independent and resilient.

Learning – We are inspired to achieve through engaging and challenging lessons within a broad and balanced curriculum.

Personal Development – We believe that our responsibility is to discover and nurture our unique talents through the “We are HARPER” attributes.

Experience – We endeavour to be confident and resilient and believe we can achieve this by challenging ourselves daily through new experiences.

Community – We recognise the positive differences we can make in society and how this can only be achieved through working together.

We are HARPER Commitments 

Each year our students are challenged to fulfil several commitments. The commitments are designed to support their personal development, and by challenging themselves through engaging in the wider life of the school and beyond, our young people will benefit from the rich experiences that Harper Green has to offer.
