At Harmood School, we're dedicated to understanding every one of our young people, helping each student achieve their best whatever their starting point. Head of School Beth Bailey explains... We understand that all our students are individuals with their own unique strengths as well as their own social, emotional and mental health needs. We want all our students to become confident young people, so we place a strong focus on developing their social and personal skills and consider this as important as their academic learning. We treat all our students with warmth and follow a nurture approach with 4 main principles. Our bright and inviting environment helps to settle students so they can learn more easily. Our clear systems and procedures make it easy for our young people to understand what's expected and how to succeed. We work hard to develop strong and lasting relationships with each student. And our culture of encouragement and reward helps them enjoy school life, builds self-belief and inspires them to do well.
