Why Study at Harris Westminster?
Harris Westminster aims to develop students who recognise their own talents and who have the ambition to use these to the greatest effect. They enjoy facing new challenges and persevere in the face of obstacles, developing the skills and understanding they need to reach their goals; and they are aware of the impact they have on the world around them and of the legacy they leave behind.
The Harris Westminster journey is summed up in these three words: ambition; perseverance; legacy.
Ambition
Our students have high expectations of themselves. They believe in their own abilities and in their capacity to learn and develop new skills and knowledge. They are unafraid of competition, seek out new challenges and collaborate successfully to meet them. Their long term goals are stretching and exciting and they know how to take the next step on the road to meeting them.
Perseverance
Our students understand the value of hard work and are able to concentrate on medium and long term goals. They are not dismayed by mistakes but learn from them and seek opportunities to use their learning. They use different approaches to solve problems and will not give up if they don’t succeed at the first attempt. They encourage each other and accept encouragement: they celebrate not just their own successes but also those of their peers.
Legacy
Our students have a strong moral code and a desire to help others. They understand the impact that their words and actions have and make their choices accordingly. They learn about cultures and groups other than their own and are interested in the ideas of others. They have the courage to stand up for what is right even when it is difficult and leave enterprises of all kinds and scales better for their involvement.
