WELCOME FROM THE HARRIS FEDERATION

Harris Academy Ockendon is supported by Executive Principal and National Leader of Education, George McMillan.

Mr McMillan has worked for the Harris Federation since 2012. During this time, he has overseen Harris Academy Greenwich’s transformation from Ofsted’s failure category of ‘special measures’ to an ‘outstanding’ and heavily oversubscribed academy which has been in the top 15% of schools in England. His role at Harris Academy Ockendon is to support the staff in the school in any way he can to ensure students not only excel in national examinations but also in their interactions with the world, leading to happy and successful lives.

The academy is also supported by Mrs Nicola Graham as Assistant Director of the Southeast quadrant of the Federation. Mrs Graham oversees a cluster of Harris academies in Essex, including the ‘outstanding’ Harris Academy Chafford Hundred. Mrs Graham is also a National Leader of Education.

Working alongside Ms Rainey and the staff at Harris Academy Ockendon, Mr McMillan and Mrs Graham provide exceptional leadership experience.
