Harmonize Academy is an Outstanding Alternative Education School for students in Years 9 – 11 who struggle in mainstream education. We have a Christian ethos based on our values of trust, respect, compassion and forgiveness which permeate every aspect of school life. Our aim is to provide every student with a Vision for Life through a personalised curriculum enabling them to fulfil their potential in education, life and employment. We opened in April 2013 as one of the first Alternative Provision Free Schools in the country and in March 2015 and January 2020 we were rated an Outstanding School by Ofsted. We are delighted that Harmonize Academy continues to be an outstanding school following an Ofsted visit on 7th-8th May 2025.The Ofsted Inspector found that ‘the school has very high expectations for all pupils’ achievement. Pupils’ behaviour is exceptional. Their behaviour improves significantly over time. The school’s values of ‘trust, respect, compassion and forgiveness’ are evident in all aspects of its work.’ We recognise that mainstream education is not for everyone and, through our highly innovative curriculum and caring pastoral system, we offer students the chance to thrive, achieve and improve their life chances. 'The best thing ever' is how students describe their experience at Harmonize Academy. ‘Pupils are given a fresh start at this nurturing school. Staff cultivate highly positive and trusting relationships with pupils. Pupils are treated with a sense of fairness and respect’.

Our latest Ofsted report praised our curriculum. ‘The school is highly ambitious for all pupils. Pupils follow a broad curriculum tailored to their individual needs. Pupils in key stage 4 gain accreditation in a number of vocational and academic subjects, including GCSEs. They are prepared very well for their next steps’.  Ofsted previously reported that, 'Pupils develop into respectful, caring and considerate young people. This is because the school prioritises pupils’ personal development extremely well'.
