Our Vision & Values
Welcome to Harris Academy Chafford Hundred
We are a school for the future. Here, we believe education is about more than just exams; it’s about preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities of life beyond the classroom.
Our students consistently demonstrate remarkable achievements. Whether it’s excelling in their studies, leading creative projects, or showing determination in sports, their progress is something we take great pride in celebrating every single day.
But what truly distinguishes Harris Academy Chafford Hundred is our commitment to building strong, positive character. We focus on five core traits that guide everything we do: grit, confidence, zest, kindness, and responsibility.
Grit means our students learn to persevere, facing challenges with resilience and determination. Confidence encourages them to believe in their own abilities and express themselves fully. Zest inspires a passion for life and learning, energising every part of their journey. Kindness ensures they treat others with empathy and respect, creating a supportive and inclusive community. And responsibility teaches them to take ownership of their actions and contribute positively to the world around them.
Our vibrant house system plays a key role in this character development. Through friendly competition, team activities, and shared goals, students build a strong sense of belonging and pride. The house system helps foster lasting friendships, teamwork, and a deep connection to the Harris Academy Chafford Hundred community — what we proudly call the HACH family.
At the heart of this community is the HACH Circle — a powerful symbol of unity and support. The HACH Circle brings students, staff, and families together, encouraging open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to each other’s growth. It’s a space where everyone feels valued and heard, strengthening the bonds that make our school a true community.
At Harris Academy Chafford Hundred, we’re not just shaping the scholars of tomorrow — we’re nurturing confident, compassionate, and capable young adults ready to make their mark on the world.
This is a school for the future — where achievements soar, character shines, and every student is empowered to succeed.
