Description
The school is part of the Harris Federation, it opened in September 2014 and initially operated from Chobham Academy, another of the Harris Federation schools in Stratford, East London. The school relocated to its new site a year later, into pre-used buildings. The full conversion, and an additional teaching block were completed for the 2017/18 academic year.[2] The school’s site has undergone complete refurbishment, and shares its facilities witn the public when not in use, including use of a floodlit multi-use-games area, a sports hall, and a dance studio with mirrors.[3]
Curriculum
The academy has designed its curriculum collectively calling heavily on Dylan William's education research.[4]
Primary Education
The primary phase aims to make every lesson creative, the staff support each child to be the best they can. Children treated as individuals and to retain their individuality.The school step in quickly if a change is needed by extra support if they are finding something difficult, or stretching them more to maintain their interest. They benefit from some specialist teaching from teachers from the secondary sector especially in year 6, where subject teaching is introduced. [5]
Key Stage 3
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'.[6] Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate(EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography.
Harris Academy Tottenham operates a three-year, Key Stage 3 where all the core National Curriculum subjects are taught.
Key Stage 4
In Key Stage 4, all students do the EBacc core subjects (with Maths and Science at different levels judged by ability), and certain options: Classics, Performing Arts, Music, Art, Design Technology, Food Tech, Exam PE and Computer Science.[7]
Key Stage 5
Entry to the sixth-form is dependant on 7 GCSE passes, and the intention to achieve 3 or more 'A' levels. [8]

The academy publishes all the statutory information on its website .[9]
