Harris Academy Purley Reviews

This school should be lucky im giving it a one star atleast

Worst school I've ever attended. Teacher are bad, Tutors don't use tutor time for what it's ment to be and RED House Year 10 are as bad as the teachers think. The teachers are just making up rules to force detentions.

Would not recommend this school, terrible learning experience. they call in parents and suspend for absolutely the smallest reasons.

I have been very impressed with this school. My advice to parents is to drop any prejudices you may have had about what a school used to be like and form your own judgements based on the present. The calibre of the teachers is excellent. My son has thrived academically and has a great attitude to learning that he did not have in primary school! He has made good friends and his form teacher has been tremendously supportive. The school take any medical needs seriously as they did with my son s allergy. Student support have detailed policies and an individualised plan in place. I have found them organised and straightforward and I love the two week October half-term. Any secondary school will have some complaints and negative reviews, particularly from those parents who have had a child in trouble. However, if your child wants to work hard and behave they certainly can do well here.

Really disappointed with the staff at Harris. I'm an ex student who has been trying to get help from someone for more than 3 weeks and no one and help me. I was sent to the work teachers to help me, then calls that aren't being picked up. There's no point of giving your details after the tone haha.
I time I called student services and was told that I was going to be transfered to someone with more experience. That person picked up for a second and ended the call. In that second, she said "oh and then you hung up."
