WELCOME Harton I would like to welcome you to Harton’s 2026 Prospectus and hope you find it both helpful and informative. This prospectus has been designed to help you and your child feel informed and welcomed into our school community. At the heart of Harton are our values of respect, resilience and aspiration. We encourage every student to show kindness, embrace challenges and strive to achieve their very best. We hope that, through reading this publication and visiting our school, you will see our commitment to making your child’s educational journey both successful and inspiring. Harton is a mixed 11-18 academy with no religious affiliation. As of September 2026, we have 1,583 students on roll. Our extensive site includes playing fields, all-weather sports facilities, a floodlit 3G pitch and a swimming pool. Alongside our modern Mathematics, Science, Technology and Sixth Form building, opened in 2010, our historic 1936 Building has been extensively refurbished. With around 200 dedicated staff, we are proud to offer a broad academic curriculum supported by evidence-informed practice. I am incredibly proud to lead this wonderful school and look forward to welcoming many more students and families to Harton in the years ahead. Jon Skurr Headteacher 5
SCHOOL ETHOS Our aim is to create a learning environment where every student feels they belong. We are committed to recognising and nurturing the unique strengths, talents, and needs of all our young people. Through a culture of respect, we encourage kindness, understanding, and positive relationships. By fostering resilience, we help students embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and grow with confidence. And with a strong focus on aspiration, we inspire every learner to strive for excellence and reach their full potential. We believe that school is a place of purpose and growth, where hard work is expected and celebrated. Our efforts are firmly focused on the classroom—on high-quality teaching and meaningful learning—because we know that this is where futures are shaped. 6
STUDENT CONDUCT We set the highest of expectations for all of our students. They are expected to: • Attend each day, be punctual and fully equipped for all lessons. • Always wear full uniform - no jewellery is permitted. • Be polite and respectful to staff, other students, and visitors. • Respect the learning environment and property of others. • Move and behave safely within lessons and around school. • Respond immediately and without argument to instructions from staff. • Behave appropriately on the way to and on the way home from school. A copy of our student code of conduct can be found here (Link). is a system of sanctions for any students who do not conform to these reasonable s All students and their parents are issued with Arbor accounts so they can keep track. We are genuinely committed to the welfare of every child. Each student has contact with a tutor several times per week who often remains with them until the end of Year 11. Tutorial periods aim to promote good relationships between staff and students and focus on aspects of personal and social education, tracking attainment and recording individual achievement. 7 There is a system of sanctions for any students who do not conform to these reasonable standards, but we also give a high priority to recognising good work, effort and behaviour. At Harton, we reward achievement and confer academic prizes. In 2024, we introduced the new MIS system, Arbor.
SCHOOL DAY LUNCH AND PERIOD 4 TUTOR/ENRICHMENT TIME This is valuable, focused time, when students will be in their tutor groups and involved in various activities including: exploring career aspirations and potential pathways, developing literacy and numeracy skills, and engaging in personal development with a view to developing their confidence, resilience and character. Students will also have one assembly per fortnight during this time.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS The education of each child is equally important to us, and we recognise that some have additional needs. The Equal Opportunities Department seeks to provide help to students in one or more of the following ways: providing active learning in small groups • providing tutorial support • providing in-class support in various subects as needs are identified • aiding departments in the development of schemes of work which allow children to study at the most appropriate level. Students have access to a wide variety of resource material including computer-assisted learning packages. Resource material may be borrowed from the department and parental involvement in a planned programme of learning support is welcomed. We are extremely proud of our work in this field and believe that our provision is second-to-none. We have specialisms within our Resource Base, which is funded by the Local Authority and works in conjunction with the Equal Opportunities Department. This caters for students with speech and language difficulties and students with communication difficulties such as Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Equal Opportunities Department and the Resource Base have been completely renovated to cater for the various needs of our students. More detailed information regarding the provision offered by the school for students with special educational needs and disabilities can be found on the school website by searching for “SEN Information Report”. 9
PASTORAL SUPPORT STRUCTURE At Harton Academy, we are dedicated to supporting your children as they transition from primary to secondary school; a key milestone filled with both excitement and new challenges. Our outstanding pastoral care system ensures every Year 7 pupil feels safe, valued, and understood, thanks to a committed team of professionals and peer mentors. We provide strong emotional support, personalised academic guidance, and encourage social integration, all within a nurturing environment where students can thrive and feel a true sense of belonging. MENTAL HEATH AND WELLBEING The school takes a proactive and comprehensive approach to supporting student mental health. All members of the pastoral team have received mental health training, ensuring they are well-equipped to support every pupil effectively. Deputy Headteacher (Pastoral care and safeguarding) Director of KS3 (Years 7-9) Director of KS4 (Years 10&11) Pastoral Head of Year (Year 7) Pastoral Head of Year (Year 9) Pastoral Head of Year (Year 8) Pastoral Head of Year (Year 11) Pastoral Head of Year (Year 10) Primary liaison coordinators (Years 5&6) The diagram below highlights the support available. Students will also have a form tutor they can check in with most days. With a dedicated Senior Mental Health Lead, Mrs Linklater, the school is fortunate to have an on-site mental health provision that plays a vital role in student well-being. A structured support system is in place, including targeted intervention programs and strong partnerships with external agencies such as Lifecycle, Healthy Minds Team, and Bright Futures. This commitment reflects the school’s belief that good mental health is essential for academic success and personal development. 10 Director of Pastoral Care
SCHOOL UNIFORM All students are expected to take pride in their school uniform and general appearance. The uniform listed below is compulsory, except where stated: ■ Beau Brummel Academy - navy blazer with logo. ■ Oakleigh Tartan Pleated skirt ■ Trousers - black formal dress trousers. ■ For Years 7, 8, and 9 - clip-on, 16” gold/navy twin stripe tie. ■ For Years 10 and 11 - clip-on 16” navy tie, with boat motif ■ A navy V-neck jumper with gold stripe is optional for all year groups. We appreciate that many families remain concerned about increases in the cost of living. As such, we would like to point out that only our school blazer and tie are compulsory items which must be purchased from our primary supplier. All other items, which satisfy the school’s uniform policy, may be purchased from any supplier. The school is keen to promote the purchase of pre-owned uniforms in order to encourage our students to consider the environment and how to shop in a more sustainable way. Therefore, we have linked up with The Children’s Society who are building a stock of pre-owned uniforms. Their local shop is based on Prince Edward Road. OTHER ITEMS OF UNIFORM OUTDOOR COATS We ask that all coats are plain, with no visible logo or badges, and open down the front. Students who wear coats which are not black, nay or dark grey in colour, will be asked to remove them before entering the building. FOOTWEAR Footwear should be plain, flat, black leather shoes with minimal decoration. Boots, including Dr Martens, should only be worn in extreme weather conditions and should be exchanged for the correct shoes once students are in school. Training shoes should not be worn in school. TROUSERS Trousers should be traditional formal black dress trousers. Denim, leggings or skin tight trousers that resemble jeans are not permitted. The academy is aware that some shops are now advertising and selling ‘school uniform’ trousers that do not match our definition of formal dress trousers. We ask that parents/carers check this carefully before they make a purchase. 11
MOBILE PHONES Mobile phones are not permitted for use on the school site. We recognise that parents and carers may wish for students to carry a mobile phone for safety while travelling to and from school. In these circumstances, a lockable mobile phone will be provided by the school. During period 1 lessons, students are required to place their phone inside the pouch and keep it securely locked for the duration of the school day. Pouches can then be unlocked at designated stations when students leave the school site. Any student found in possession of a mobile phone that is not secured in a pouch will have the device confiscated. The phone will only be returned when it is collected from reception by a parent or carer. This policy supports a focused, safe, and respectful learning environment for all members of the school community. HEAD PHONES Earphones/Headphones to listen to music should also not be brought onto the school premises. ACCESSORIES/JEWELLERY We operate a ‘no jewellery policy’ at Harton. For reasons of safety and risk of loss, jewellery (other than a watch) should not be worn in school. Students wearing jewellery may have it confiscated, and it will only be returned at a time agreed by the pastoral team. The school cannot accept responsibility for items of jewellery which are lost or damaged. Please note, any kind of body piercing (including nose, tongue and eye-brow studs) is not appropriate for school. Any child wearing such apparel to school will not be allowed to circulate around the school. Parents will be contacted. MAKE-UP Any make-up should be subtle and of natural colours when worn. Excessive make-up or overly long false eye-lashes should not be worn. Senior staff will determine ‘excessive’. 12 HAIR Hair styles designed to make fashion statements are not allowed in school, and parents/carers will be contacted. Any student attending school with such a hair style will not be allowed to circulate around the school. PERSONAL PROPERTY Dealing with lost property can be a major issue in a large school like Harton. Please ensure that all personal property is marked with the name of the student. We do not operate a ‘lost property room’. In the event of students’ personal property being found it will be left, if found, in a classroom, or taken to reception. After that, we will try to return the property, but it will eventually be passed to a local charity. Items of high monetary or sentimental value should not be brought to school. Students do so at their own risk. The school cannot be responsible for loss or damage to any such item. SCHOOL BAGS All students should have an appropriate school bag for carrying homework, books, equipment and PE kit, which should be clearly marked with the owner’s name.

CURRICULUM ACADEMIC ORGANISATION The school is highly inclusive and we have students from across the ability range. We have children of below average ability, as well as many exceptionally able children. A great deal of time, effort and targeting of resources ensures that each child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. TEACHING GROUPS The vast majority of students are taught by subject specialists in groups which vary in size according to ability levels, needs of students and the nature of the subject. On entering Harton, students are placed in ability groupings on the basis of primary school results (Key Stage 2 SAT levels, teacher assessments and information collected from primary teachers by our Primary Transition Coordinator). In Year 8, students are placed into groups according to their performance in Y7 in English and mathematics. This ensures that they are taught at a level commensurate to their ability and that work is delivered at an appropriate level of difficulty. Student groups are appraised during academic reviews and, where necessary, movement within teaching groups is considered. Year 9 is an incredibly important time in the life of our students. It is during Year 9 that students will make choices regarding the optional courses they will study in Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) and begin building the foundations for GCSE study. To support this transition, additional teaching groups are added to some core subjects to reduce class size, and groups are further refined according to ability to ensure students are taught at an appropriate level of challenge and receive any necessary support. Again, movement within groups remains possible where the need arises. CURRICULUM 2025 – 2026 The school’s curriculum is constantly evolving as more courses become available and the needs of the students change. The curriculum at Harton Academy aims to empower students for life beyond school as successful, confident, responsible and tolerant citizens who have: ▪ a love of learning and willingness to apply themselves to challenges ▪ high aspirations and belief in their own abilities to achieve success ▪ a sense of enquiry, the ability to question, solve problems and argue rationally ▪ a broad and balanced knowledge and understanding of a range of transferable skills ▪ resourcefulness, independence and the ability to work effectively as part of a team ▪ competence in literacy, numeracy and in the use of information technology ▪ creativity, critical awareness, empathy and sensitivity ▪ moral and spiritual values and respect for the values of others ▪ the initiative to play a positive, active role in the community. As a fully comprehensive, 11 - 18 school, we are committed to the principle that all students have the right to the highest quality of education. This means that we seek to ensure: ▪ breadth and balance for all ▪ appropriate levels of expectation and genuine challenge ▪ relevance, continuity and progression in learning ▪ courses of study and teaching methods which are tailored to the wide range of needs, interests and aspirations of our students. The school day begins with period 1 and students experience five hours of lessons per day - 25 hours per week. The school operates a two-week timetable. In Years 10 and 11, it is likely that students supplement this in- class learning time with additional activities beyond the classroom 15
16
It is our declared policy to enter all students for GCSEs or other appropriate examinations. 17 QUALIFICATIONS AND COURSES OFFERED

KEY STAGE 5 (YEARS 12 AND 13) Many Harton students have progressed to 6th Form studies and, since 2010, they are able to do so in our own 6th Form Centre. The 6th Form in our school consists of a combination of Harton students and a number of young people from a range of local schools. The 6th Form Centre has state-of-the-art facilities in a pleasant business environment which includes a media suite, a lecture theatre, a learning resource centre and some subject-specific rooms. These specialist areas, combined with our sports centre, a range of outdoor sporting facilities, all day access to refreshments and 6th Form Internet Café, along with a range of tutorial and general classrooms, create a productive environment in which young people are able to study. The basic pattern for 6th Form students at Harton is a core day between 8:40am and 3:10pm, but sometimes involving lessons up to 4:10pm and beyond. Students generally select three subjects, including a range of A Level and BTEC programmes of study. All programmes require nine hours of taught time per fortnight per subject plus additional private study time of a minimum of three hours per week. Students also take part in an extensive enrichment programme, which may include activities such as: rock climbing, Sports Leadership Award, music, health & fitness, community projects, business and enterprise and learning a new language. Our post-16 Personal Development programme ensures the development of key transferable skills such as: research, problem-solving, team work, presentation, personal development and work experience. All of these skills are essential for life after school and are sought by employers and universities. Progression is a key focus of Harton 6th Form and a team of tutors, along with a progress mentor and specialist careers advisor, ensure students move on to great things in the future. Preparation for life after school is at the heart of the 6th Form and every effort is made to ensure that students are fully informed and confident to pursue university and employment applications. There is an extensive range of trips within the 6th Form, ranging from local excursions to international expeditions. Students are encouraged to make the most of these opportunities. Additional details can be found on the Harton 6th Form website at: www.hartonacademy.co.uk 21

Alternatively, additional courses may be offered if there is sufficient demand. KEY STAGE 5 COURSES (6th FORM) 22 Students also follow a course of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE).
ACTIVITIES WEEK Our annual Activities Week is one of the highlights of the school year, giving students the opportunity to learn, explore and create beyond the classroom. Each year group follows a different programme of exciting experiences, including educational visits and themed in- school projects. Previous activities have included surf school, Science Olympics, visits to Beamish Museum and Newcastle art galleries, as well as a range of creative and team- building challenges. The week concludes with a fantastic Key Stage 3 Games Day, where students enjoy a variety of fun activities and friendly competition. Last year, this included a giant inflatable obstacle course and inflatable fairground games, creating lasting memories for everyone involved. RESIDENTIAL AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION Students have the opportunity to attend a wide variety of educational visits and activities beyond, but in support of, the timetabled curriculum. Participation in sports events, nearby visits, fieldwork, overseas visits, day and residential visits, out-of-hours clubs, (e.g. music, drama, dance, homework) can all offer the possibility of learning outside the classroom. Recent events have included trips to Paris, Poland, Iceland, USA, Italy, Borneo, Nepal, Spain, Manchester, Cambridge, London, Malham Cove and Thurston along with many residential activities supporting the delivery of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. Our next 6th Form expedition will be to Kenya in July this year. Visits are normally made available to specific classes or year groups and permission to attend may be re- fused to students whose behaviour may detrimentally affect the success of the activity. Parents are asked to contribute the full costs of such trips, though provision exists for those who encounter financial hardship. 23

SPORT At Harton, all students have dedicated PE lessons each week, helping them develop physical skills and positive sporting attitudes. Our excellent facilities and the wide range of sports we offer encourage students to show respect for themselves and others, build resilience through teamwork and competition, and aim high in all they do. Beyond lessons, students can join teams, take part in competitions, and access extra coaching— supporting their aspiration to achieve their best both in and out of school. The school has its own swimming pool, sport centre, fitness suite and dance studio which have all greatly enhanced the quality of our PE facilities. ARTS Harton Academy is committed to the provision of a well-rounded education for all our students, and this includes the cultural dimension. The formal curriculum provides Art and Music for all students in KS3, with thriving option groups in KS4, where the subjects are no longer compulsory. Our facilities include four art rooms and three music rooms, together with music practice rooms and a recording studio. Both departments are well resourced and take advantage of extensive ICT facilities including a radio broadcasting studio and a green screen recording studio. In addition, trips and visits are offered to support student learning and extend cultural opportunities. Historically, the school has performed a high quality annual music/drama production, which involves many students and staff, as well as termly musical concerts. Many of our KS3 students receive instrumental tuition as a result of their engagement in the Sound Start programme. The school also works with a number of peripatetic instructors to offer the ability for additional paid for music tuition to take place. 25
SCHOOL LIBRARY We remain totally committed to developing the reading skills of all students. Our magnificent Learning Resource Centre (LRC) continues to receive significant investment as it remains fundamental to the school’s development of the National Curriculum. It is a compr 26 RELATIONSHIPS, SEX AND HEALTH EDUCATION (RSHE) Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) is embedded within the teaching of Personal Development.

A copy of our RSHE policy can be found on the school’s website. SCHOOL LIBRARY Our school library is a welcoming space equipped with a computer suite and thousands of books for students to enjoy and even take home to read! It’ is the venue for KS3 reading lessons and also offers banks of tablets for accessing Giglets, an interactive online reading resource. Giglets provides a wide range of e-books and activities designed to support reading and comprehension skills for all levels. In addition, the library hosts a supervised homework club after school, giving students a quiet and supportive environment to complete their assignments.

MEAL ARRANGEMENTS Our open plan cafeteria has proven to be a great hit with our students. A wide range of hot and cold meals are on offer including ‘grab and go’ options for those students who wish to spend most of their lunch break outside. We have also opened an additional catering pod within the grounds of the school which can be used by students in years 7-9 at break time. 28 We operate a cashless system, and all payments, including topping up of meal accounts, are completed using ParentPay. Once students have chosen their meals, payments are automatically deducted using fingerprint readers at the till points. Details of this service are included in the information received during the admissions process. For our 6th Form students we have an Internet Café. A selection of hot and cold food and drinks are available. Snacks and drinks are also available at break and lunch time in the newly opened Harton Hub. All students are required to remain on the school premises for lunch.
