What the school offers its staff
Through a broad and challenging curriculum, expert teaching and rich opportunities beyond the classroom, we seek to make those words a reality for every student. When Ofsted visited the academy, inspectors recognised many of the qualities on which we continue to build: students who enjoy learning, treat one another and adults with respect, and benefit from an ambitious curriculum and high expectations.
A strong sense of belonging is fundamental to this. We want every student to feel safe, known and valued, while understanding that being part of our community also brings high expectations. Every young person should feel that they belong here and that their success matters.
We are proud of the reputation Harris Academy Billericay enjoys within our local community and of the trust families place in us. Many members of staff choose to send their own children here, which speaks powerfully about their belief in the academy. Our responsibility is to build on these strengths while continuing to ask how we can be even better for the young people we serve.
Our people are at the heart of our success. We have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its centre. We invest in our staff with support, coaching, mentoring, and a wide range of top-quality training programmes delivered at every level.
In addition to the opportunities for career development and progression, we also offer a competitive rewards and benefits package which includes our Harris Allowance for teachers on MPS/UPS, an Annual Loyalty Bonus, Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions, a Wellbeing Cash Plan and many other benefits. Learn more about our benefits on our website.
