Your Future, Your Choice

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our website for Harrison College.

As the Principal and founding Director of the college, I feel privileged to be working with young people from my home town of Doncaster to improve their quality of life and opportunities for the future. Currently fewer than 1 in 4 young people with high functioning autism access education after GCSE and only 16% are in full time employment. We believe that these young people deserve better, a better education and a better opportunity to secure employment.

We pride ourselves on delivering quality first teaching and an inclusive, business and career development provision where learners can thrive, placing no limits on what can be achieved no matter their background or starting point, leading to a secure and prosperous future. We benefit from being able to respond to changes in the labour market, promoting pathways to employment and releasing hidden talent through cutting edge skills development.

Our four values; Lead, Believe, Achieve, Exceed, drive everything that we do ensuring that our learners are at the centre of all of our decisions and actions.

It is the decision of you and your family as to where you will continue your education. The strategic aims of our Education and Skills Policy highlights how we:

• Deliver a high-quality, holistic education that prepares learners for the demands of the modern workplace.
• Embeds a skills-based framework across the curriculum to promote essential work-based competencies.
• Fosters a culture of core literacy and numeracy across all subject areas and learning experiences.
• Provide authentic project-based learning opportunities led by business and industry professionals.
• Support learners personal and professional development through bespoke, individual support through 1:1 mentoring, reflective practice and targeted career guidance.
