Personal Development

Our fundamental aim is to nurture children with exceptional character traits, preparing them for the challenges they'll face in today's world.

It's crucial that our students at Harris Academy Chobham understand and respect differences, comprehend important global issues, show confidence and express themselves well, and have the courage to try new things.

This goal reflects our school's core values of inclusion, honesty, and respect, and our vision of helping children grow into caring, curious, ambitious, self-assured, and successful individuals.

Our curriculum goes beyond just academics, focusing on developing children in all aspects of life. We teach them important knowledge they'll need as responsible citizens, getting them ready for adulthood by helping them understand how to be active members of society and giving them plenty of chances to put this into practice.

Additionally, we offer opportunities for children to explore and strengthen their own beliefs and values; develop their spiritual awareness; maintain excellent personal behaviour; foster a caring attitude towards others; learn about their own culture and traditions, and appreciate the diversity and richness of other cultures.

At our academy, we foster an inclusive environment where every learner can fully enjoy their educational experience. Our curriculum and learning opportunities are thoughtfully designed to ensure that all students have access to a comprehensive and well-rounded education.

We provide a wide and exciting range of extra-curricular experiences on a weekly basis to support the children in their journey to becoming successful young citizens. These events, celebrations and learning opportunities promote inclusion, empathy, responsibility and leadership and contribute towards a strong sense of cohesion and community for Chobham students. The best way to see the vast range of experiences on offer is to view our weekly newsletters which can be found here.
