Harris Girls' Academy Bromley

Harris Girls' Academy Bromley, originally Cator Park School for Girls, is a secondary school in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley, England, for girls between the ages of 11 and 18, with boys joining in Sixth Form. In 2011, the school joined a federation of academies in South London called the Harris Federation, named after the Lord Harris of Peckham who is sponsoring them.

The Academy was ranked 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2017. It was awarded with the World Class Schools Quality Mark, joining the just over 140 schools in the UK accredited with the recognition.

Cator Park School for Girls opened in 1919. In World War I, the school had been used as a hospital for injured soldiers.

Harris Federation is a federation of Primary and Secondary academies in and around London. The academies' sponsor is Phil Harris (Lord Harris of Peckham), the former chairman and chief executive of Carpetright. The federation is a not-for-profit charitable organisation whose stated key aim is "to promote the education of young people in South London".[citation needed]

The Chief Executive Officer is Sir Daniel Moynihan, previously Principal of the Harris City Academy Crystal Palace. He is the full-time CEO at the Harris Federation Headquarters in Croydon. Kelsey Park Sports College (Harris Academy Beckenham) and Cator Park School (Girls' Harris Academy Bromley) converted into Harris Academies for September 2011, the first Harris Academies to open in the London Borough of Bromley.[citation needed]

The Academy is a girls' school with a roll of 900 secondary pupils and a mixed sixth form of 260.

Virtually all maintained schools and academies in England follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students at 16 to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography.

Harris Girls' Academy Bromley operates a three-year, Key Stage 3 as advised where all the core National Curriculum subjects are taught. Maths, Science and English are setted by ability, other subjects and options are taught in mixed-ability classes.
