Faculties

Students are in one of four faculties at Harris Invictus Academy Croydon: Courage, Undefeated, Ambition, Resilience.

Faculties help to build our identity and reflect the mission statement and beliefs of our academy. We are courageous, ambitious, resilient and undefeated. We symbolise the meaning of the poem, Invictus, by William Ernest Henley, which Nelson Mandela attached to the wall in his prison cell on Robben Island.

We hope the faculty names show why we are trying to help educate children to become strong, resourceful, intelligent future leaders.

Courage (Blue)

  • Courageous when faced with new challenges
  • Courageous when the going gets tough and others give up
  • Courageous to take different decisions to others based on principle - moral courage

Undefeated (Green)

  • Unbreakable in spirit
  • Unstoppable - will not stop until goals are met
  • Unflappable - always strives and struggles on, even when the going gets tough
  • Unconquerable

Ambition

  • A strong desire to achieve
  • Eagerness
  • Motivation
  • Passion
  • Thirst for learning
  • Drive and determination

Resilience

  • Committed to succeeding, and never giving up
  • Committed to solving problems, and to conquer challenges
  • Remaining strong and focused when faced with adversity
