Harris Academy Greenwich
About Harris Academy Greenwich
Harris Academy Greenwich is one of only four secondary schools in the Greenwich local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing it in a small, high-performing minority within a borough of 19 state secondaries. It sits alongside Ark Greenwich Free School, St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School, and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls as the top-ranked schools in the area, according to local context data. Under headteacher Jack Docherty, this mixed, non-denominational 11-18 academy serves 1,172 pupils and operates as a comprehensive school with no selective admissions. Its location in the London borough of Greenwich means it competes directly with these well-regarded peers, and its Ofsted record — Outstanding in its most recent graded inspection in 2022 — gives it a clear edge in reputation. The school’s nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is itself, which underscores its status as a local benchmark for quality.
