About Us
The vision of Harris Academy Clapham is a simple one. From our opening in September 2020, our academy is a place where ‘everything is possible'.
The Clapham curriculum is designed to meet the needs, aspirations and abilities of every one of our students. Our aim is to improve their life chances and enable them to make a positive contribution to the city and world in which they live.
At Harris Clapham, the curriculum is delivered through high-quality teaching. This is codified in our research-informed approach to pedagogy, which we call the Clapham Way. The following principles apply in our curriculum:
- Subject specific knowledge and skills come first
- Embedding and building on the basics – ensuring that every student acquires the vocabulary, literacy and numeracy skills to enable them to fully participate in society
- The curriculum must be rigorous and relevant by engaging with the best of what has been thought and said and acknowledging that knowledge is fluid and can be contested
- The curriculum must prepare for life in modern Britain and beyond, and enable Clapham students to understand their rights and fulfil their responsibilities under the Equality Act.
Through the Clapham academic, enrichment and pastoral curriculum we expect our students to develop powerful knowledge and the following values and character attributes that will enable them to achieve our vision that ‘Everything is Possible'.
Endeavour for excellence
- Learning to work hard and relish challenge.
- Learning to never give up.
- Learning to take sensible risks.
- Learning to always strive for the best for themselves and each other.
Integrity and honesty
- Always acting with kindness.
- Treating others the way they would like to be treated.
Self-belief with a global view
- Growing to have the agency to achieve their ambitions for themselves and the wider world.
Our staff are supported in their work and in developing their future careers via:
- A centralised behaviour system, with each year group supported by non-teaching pastoral leaders
- A programme of instructional coaching, supported by the Step Lab platform
- Access to a wide range of National Professional Qualifications delivered by the Institute of Teaching

About us
SurvivorsUK exists for men, boys and non-binary people who have experienced any form of sexual violence.
We support – by providing services such as a helpline, counselling, ISVA and groupwork.
We challenge – by raising public awareness of the issue, and dispelling myths
We build – by creating and facilitating networks for better access to help
Role
Sexual violence in prisons has long been ignored, leaving men without adequate support. Over the past year we have been part of a committee with HM Prison Service, Metropolitan Police and NHS England to develop a Service Level Agreement on responding to serious sexual assaults within prisons in London.

- Establish and strengthen referral pathways for survivors in London prisons.
- Gather key insights to inform future service provision and systemic change.
As a Trainer on the Prison Project you will work alongside two dedicated therapists. By embedding trauma-informed approaches within the prison system, this role will empower staff, improve survivor outcomes, and lay the foundation for long-term change in how sexual violence in prison is addressed.
Main responsibilities include:
- Deliver comprehensive training sessions to prison staff, healthcare teams, mental health professionals, probation officers and other key stakeholders.
- Develop bespoke training materials, toolkits, and resources to support ongoing learning for prison staff.
- Facilitate reflective practice sessions (‘trauma clinics’) to help staff process and improve their responses to survivors.
- Work closely with prison leadership teams to embed best practices into their safeguarding policies and procedures.
- Liaise with the Young People’s Therapist and Adult Therapist to align training with the therapeutic support available in prisons.
- Gather insights from prison staff on barriers to disclosure and challenges in supporting survivors.
