Harris Federation Case Study
Robert Primus was a star pupil at Harris Academy South Norwood; always a passionate historian, it was no surprise to staff when he decided to pursue the subject at university.
We were delighted when he found his way back to Harris after graduating, initially as a teaching assistant. He excelled in his work with SEN students and decided to train with us to become a teacher.
“I wanted to make a difference to the lives of young people by sharing my passion for history. I’m stretched and challenged every day but feel fully supported having been a participant on the Federation’s Diverse Leaders Programme, which exists to support teachers from diverse background to achieve career progression.”
“I have also worked towards an NPQML qualification and am proud to be a mentor for trainee and newly qualified teachers. I have loved being able to enrich the History curriculum with the lost pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that I’d picked up in my studies and know that, through great teaching, our school is having an impact on the lives of young people in south London.”
