Hi, I needed some advice. I’ve been offered a job at harris primary academy coleraine park. But I’m not sure to take it or not? So fare I’ve not heard good things from working at a Harris Academy. I would really like some advice. Much appreciated x

From what I've heard I wouldn't touch a Harris with a bargepole. If you search for Harris here there's an interesting thread from a year or two ago.

There is a reason Harris can't keep their staff. I wouldn't touch them.

Yes I did see that thread. And it definitely made me think again. They practically offered me the job on the spot. I was expecting a tour of the school and to meet some staff. It was all a bit of a rush. Now that I think about it they didn’t even see my full lesson or wait to see how I interacted with the children. I definitely have made up my mind now and won’t be accepting it. Glad I did some research and found the first thread on here! Thank you guys for your feedback.

I think when jobs are still on offer in July it is always worth asking the question (even if only to yourself) of why the job is available.

I only know Support Staff who have worked at Harris schools and none of them would never, ever work in one again
