Harris Boys' Academy

More places for Southwark boys

There is a clear need in Southwark for more pupil places, particularly for boys. Southwark Council is strongly committed to providing these places.

• We fought hard for the past five years to find a solution that will give Southwark parents a Southwark choice
• We listened closely to parents
• We worked to gain the available government funding 
• We negotiated with a sponsor to bring a federated academy to the borough and more boys' places 

From this page you can access information about the proposal to build Harris Boys' Academy in East Dulwich.

• A history of the proposal (word 110kb) since 2002
• The process (word 90kb) followed to develop the project
• Answers to frequently asked questions (word 124kb)
• The new Harris Boys' Academy website, including information about the Harris Federation

We are pleased that Harris Federation of South London Schools is involved in this project, given its strong track record of delivering schools in Southwark. The Harris proposal will deliver what Southwark needs: more boys' places.

We strongly support it.
