Harris Boys' Academy East Dulwich
London, SE22 0AT · Southwark · secondary school
5th of 19 secondary schools in Southwark we can score, 20 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 — 9.6/10 against 611 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 55.1 · 74 | 30% | 2.23 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.98 · 97 | 25% | 2.43 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.5 · 86 | 10% | 0.86 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 55.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.5, compared to the national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cooking Club, Duke of Edinburgh Award, and Journalism. They participate in the Year 7 Sports Day and visit Cheltenham for horse riding, the Bush Theatre, the National Portrait Gallery, and The Langham for careers.
Getting in. The school has 907 pupils in a capacity of 950, leaving 43 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the final year to maintain their high Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students who need help with their Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new Year 7 entrants?
