Harris Academy Wimbledon
London, SW19 2JY · Merton · secondary school
1st of 8 secondary schools in Merton we can score, 9 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.8/10 against 495 of them, against 9.0/10 nationally. 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 | 69.0 · 90 | 30% | 2.72 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.62 · 88 | 25% | 2.21 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 58.3 · 90 | 10% | 0.91 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the transition from Year 9 to 10, given the specific curriculum changes? What are the typical group sizes for the music and sports clubs? How does the school manage the balance between academic rigour and extracurricular participation for students aiming for top grades?
