Ofsted Reports
Our first Ofsted inspection judges us ‘Outstanding’ in every single category.
When Harris Academy Wimbledon opened in September 2018, we said we wanted to create a happy, successful academy with drive and ambition.
We are therefore absolutely thrilled to share the result of our first Ofsted inspection, which found us to be ‘Outstanding’ overall and in each of the specific categories they look at, ranging from the quality of education provided to the personal development and behaviour of our pupils.
The report is a credit to our students, staff, families and governors, and to the Harris Federation. You can read it in full here but here are some highlights:
On what it is like to attend Harris Academy Wimbledon:
