Harris Federation, federation of secondary school academies in South London
Harris Federation is a network of 55 schools across London and surrounding areas that educates around 44,000 students. Each school operates with its own principal and senior leadership team while maintaining shared educational standards and goals throughout the organization.
Founded in 1991, the federation has grown into a major school system in south London. Many of its schools were previously struggling institutions but have since improved significantly under the federation's support and now receive high inspection ratings.
The schools emphasize a caring environment where students are encouraged to achieve their best. Community celebrations for student success and school milestones are regular features, reflecting how teaching staff prioritize both personal growth and academic achievement.
The schools are located across different parts of London and are accessible by public transport, with each school having its own specific location. Visitors interested in learning more should contact individual schools or visit the federation's website for information about access and visiting options.
The network has a notable track record of transforming schools previously considered problematic into highly-rated institutions. Some of its schools rank among the top 1 percent nationally for supporting student progress across different backgrounds.
