Harris Girls' Academy East Dulwich
London, SE22 0NR · Southwark · secondary school
6th 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 — 9.3/10 against 382 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 55.9 · 76 | 30% | 2.28 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.4 · 79 | 25% | 1.97 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.3 · 84 | 10% | 0.84 |
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, 55.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 54.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.4 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024.
Getting in. The school has 809 pupils in a capacity of 950, leaving 141 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in transitioning from Year 11 to sixth form or college? What specific pastoral support is available for girls who may feel isolated due to the single-sex intake? How does the curriculum adapt to the diverse backgrounds of the student body?
