Extended Learning

'While we have time let us do good to all’. (Galatians 6:10)'

 

Extended Learning is an integral part of students’ learning experience at Harris. Through careful design and management, it is our intention that Extended Learning will encourage students to be responsible, one of our core Harris values:

 

RESPONSIBLE – students to take an active role in their learning, commit key knowledge to memory and recognise that they are accountable for their own success. 

 

Extended Learning is an important part of school life, contributing to student progress and attainment. It plays a key role in extending the knowledge, understanding and skills that are developed in school and provides opportunities for students to consolidate, enrich and extend their learning.  However, it is also believed that Extended Learning should be purposeful, timely and useful; with this in mind, our Departments have a degree of autonomy over the frequency and nature of their Extended Learning, recognising that rigid, ‘one-size fits all’ approaches often yield work of limited value and purpose.

Here at Harris, we use a system called Bromcom Student Portal. Bromcom Student Portal is an online or app-based tool that allows students to receive notifications from teachers regarding homework assignments and view their timetable to see what lessons they have that week. It also allows you to see attendance, behavioural points awarded, and more!
 
We ensure all students have an account when they join us here at Harris and we provide access for parents to be able to monitor their child's progress using the Bromcom MCAS app.
