Overview
At Harris Girls Academy Bromley we have built a school community where we hold character and academic excellence in equally high regard. Progress 8 for the school was in the top 100 in the country last year, and we were the only school from this group with a student body that has above-average disadvantage, and below-average EAL. Learning, curriculum, and pedagogy is exemplary here. We value how students conduct themselves in classrooms and corridors and the commitment they demonstrate in libraries, drama studios, sports halls and textiles rooms. We are committed to leadership at all levels and to continuously improving our approach by listening to students, staff and the wider community.
