We are Harper Commitments
At Harper Green School, we fully understand the positive impact a well-thought-out, holistic vision to develop the whole person can have on our students. To maximise this impact, we challenge our students through four key areas of our Commitments Programme.
These areas are:
1. Community commitments:
- Fundraise or support a charitable events
- Be actively involved in a community experience
2. Learning Commitments
- Fully engage in learning within each subject and take pride in the work you produce
- Show evidence of learning beyond the classroom
3. Personal Development Commitments
- Regularly attend afterschool or lunchtime enrichment sessions
- Demonstrate both inside and outside school the 'We are Harper' attributes
4. Experience Commitments
- Represent the school in a sporting, cultural or academic event
- Take part in a formal presentation to an audience
Making Our Commitments Meaningful
Every half term, students are challenged to commit to engaging in at least 2 of the 4 categories. Weekly, students will receive challenges and supervised interactions via their form tutors to understand both the positive purpose and opportunities available to our students on a weekly basis. Recorded through their Commitments Booklets, students are tasked to seek out new opportunities but to also reflect on the ones they have encountered. This full circle approach enables our students to discover what they enjoy and fully immerse themselves in everything we at Harper Green have to offer.
At the end of each Term, students who have demonstrated a commitment to their full school experience are recognised for their achievements. Every term, these achievements are built upon and fully celebrated with our annual rewards evening in the summer term.
