What Harris Junior Academy Carshalton does

Harris Junior Academy Carshalton (HJAC) is a state-funded junior academy located on Camden Road, Carshalton, within the London Borough of Sutton, Surrey. It opened in September 2013 as a three-form entry school serving approximately 360 pupils aged 7–11 across Years 3–6. As one of 55+ academies within the Harris Federation, HJAC operates under shared governance and benefits from federation-wide curriculum resources, teacher training pathways (including Harris Initial Teacher Education), and enrichment programming. The Executive Principal is Georgina Barnes.

The academy delivers the full National Curriculum at Key Stage 2, with curriculum modules across core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science), humanities (History, Geography, RE), the arts (Art, Music, Design & Technology), Modern Foreign Language (French), Computing, PSHE, and PE. It uses structured schemes including White Rose Maths (with the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract mastery approach), Charanga for music, and Read Write Inc for phonics. Additional support services include wraparound before/after-school care, extracurricular clubs, and a SEN & Disabilities programme delivered by SENCO/Inclusion Lead Ms Burrows across four SEND need categories. The federation's parent body has been named TES Trust of the Year.

HJAC's revenue model is non-commercial: as a UK state-funded academy, it operates on per-pupil government grant funding channelled through the Department for Education / London Borough of Sutton, with no disclosed tuition fees. Admissions are managed via the Sutton Council Common Application Form, with a designated Year 3 intake of 90 pupils per year; limited ancillary revenue may be generated from optional wraparound care and extracurricular services, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. The primary customer segment is families within the Sutton catchment seeking an Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' primary school placement, with a secondary segment of pupils requiring SEND support.
