The Department for Education has approved Harris Academy Avery Hill secondary school.

The Department of Education is currently reviewing the future of all unopened new free schools. When the review is complete we will be able to confirm the planned opening date for the academy.

Working with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and building on the success of Harris Academy Greenwich, this will be a secondary academy for boys. The new school will provide 180 places.

Harris Academy Greenwich is rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and receives around seven applications per place available.

With a separate free school for girls which opened in September 2019 with 240 places, the new Harris secondary academy will help to ensure a balance of places for boys and girls in the borough.

We will run a formal consultation once the site is agreed and will invite parents to help us plan and develop the school.

In the meantime, please register your interest by emailing info@harrisfederation.org.uk, especially if you have a child of primary school age. We will keep you updated with the latest information on the new school.
