From the Harris Junior Academy Carshalton
We are a three-form entrance school in the London Borough of Sutton neighbourhood of Carshalton. Our students, who range in age from 7 to 11, contribute a tremendous amount of vigour and enthusiasm to our school. HJAC is a true community college. We work to make sure that every child feels secure, cherished, and happy. At HJAC, we are aware that for children to learn and develop as people, a strong partnership with parents is essential. Therefore, we make every effort to inform and include parents in school activities. We think that all kids can achieve to a high standard with the help of qualified instruction and encouragement. Our goal is to ensure that each student leaves the academy feeling academically successful and having succeeded in both the extracurricular activities and secondary school. All of our kids should have genuinely positive school experiences, according to us. Every day in class, we recognise the accomplishments of our students, and we are proud of their kindness, compassion, confidence, and desire to learn. Please visit us and speak to as many of the kids and staff members as you can if you are looking for a home for your child. We are eagerly anticipating your arrival.
