Harris Academy Sutton
Sutton, SM2 5RD · Sutton · secondary school
5th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.0/10 against 630 of them, against 9.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 70.2 · 91 | 30% | 2.73 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.91 · 96 | 25% | 2.41 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 58.2 · 90 | 10% | 0.90 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 58.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.91 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally starting from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, play basketball, football, netball, dance, cricket, padel, handball, or skateboarding, and visit PGL, Dubai, Berlin, or New York.
Getting in. There are 1296 pupils in a school with 1295 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity during admissions? What support is available for pupils who need extra help with their studies? How are the various sports and trips organised for different year groups?
