Introduction
Congratulations on gaining a place at Harris Academy Beckenham. We are delighted to welcome you and your family to our school community and are very much looking forward to meeting our new cohort of students.
We recognise that beginning life at secondary school is a huge step. Our priority throughout the transition process is to ensure all students who will be joining us in September are fully prepared, to provide families with the information they need to support their children and to enable our new cohort of students to start a new and exciting journey at Harris Academy Beckenham.
In service of this we have created this dedicated transition section of the website which will be updated regularly with letters, documents and information for you to view and download.
Meet the team
At Harris Academy Beckenham, we have an experienced and knowledgeable team of staff who are passionate about providing excellent teaching and learning experiences for our students.
The leadership team is led by our Interim Head of Academy, Mrs E Richardson, along with Mr Shone, the Year 7 Co-ordinator. The team work hard to ensure our academy captures our sense of aspiration, discovery and achievement which will enable students to enjoy being the best they can be.
