What Harris Academy Greenwich does

Harris Academy Greenwich is a UK state-funded secondary academy serving approximately 1,140 students aged 11-18 in the Eltham area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, South East London. The school is one of 55 academies operating under the Harris Federation, a not-for-profit education charity established in 1991 that educates roughly 44,000 pupils across London and Essex. The academy delivers the National Curriculum across Years 7-11 with GCSE preparation, and a Sixth Form in Years 12-13 offering A-Levels, vocational Level 3 qualifications, and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

The product portfolio is layered: core secondary education underpins the GCSE phase; a Sixth Form offering with A-Level and vocational pathways targets post-16 progression; the Harris Scholars Programme provides additional stretch for high-attaining pupils; and a set of Sixth Form Societies (Medicine, Law, Stock Market, Debate, Chess & Strategy, Badminton) plus a comprehensive Careers Education Programme support UCAS applications, degree apprenticeships, and specialist pathways for Medicine and Oxbridge. Underlying technology is conventional: a Virtual Learning Environment, Microsoft Forms for admissions, Google Analytics, and an Issuu-hosted digital prospectus. There is no proprietary platform, no AI-driven personalisation product, and no disclosed data asset.

Revenue is generated entirely through per-pupil government funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency; no tuition fees are charged to students. Admissions are processed through the Royal Borough of Greenwich Common Application Form (CAF) for Year 7 entry against a Published Admission Number of 180, with banding tests applied to ensure comprehensive ability intake. Distribution is geographically constrained to South East London, with strategic partnerships spanning employers (Macquarie Bank, Saatchi & Saatchi), universities (London Southbank University), and hospitals and colleges (St George's Hospital, East Surrey College) for enrichment and progression pathways.
