Our outstanding academy is a happy, richly diverse, warm, and welcoming community where every student is supported to become academically and personally successful.
Our smaller setting ensures we know our students as individuals, enabling us to provide personalised support to ensure every student thrives.
Our outstanding examination results place us amongst the top schools in the country. We are committed to academic rigour, as this gives all students genuine choice in the future. At Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich, we believe every student can achieve academic success, and we place learning at the heart of everything we do. Our curriculum is broad, challenging, and rich. Our expert teachers go above and beyond as they know education changes lives. They are passionate, ambitious for all and develop students who are curious, interested learners who are confident to take risks and feel safe to make mistakes.
Our values: character, courage and conscience are at the heart of everything we do. For adolescent girls, we recognise that we are in a privileged position to inspire the next generation of female leaders. We develop confidence in every student to challenge misogyny and sexism and we empower our students to believe that they can achieve their dreams. Our students have a strong sense of justice, responsibility, community and kindness that they take into the world beyond the academy.
Our beautiful site, with extensive green space overlooking Peckham Rye offers opportunities for physical activity, relaxation and social interaction which has been proven to boost overall happiness. Our site benefits from excellent facilities which enrich our academic curriculum and wellbeing of our students, staff and wider community.
