Harris Academy Sutton

Harris Academy Sutton is a highly successful and award-winning fully comprehensive school. Our results (Progress 8: +1.10) place us in the top ten of truly non-selective schools in the country in terms of progress from Key Stage 2. Our founding ambition remains unchanged: that our students will receive an education and experience that allows them to stand toe-to-toe with any of their peers. This ambition is particularly important to us in an area of London which is highly selective and contains many grammar and faith schools. The performance tables and associated information on our results can be found here:
