Harris Primary Academy Crystal Palace
About Harris Primary Academy Crystal Palace
Harris Primary Academy Crystal Palace sits in an interesting position within Bromley’s primary landscape. Its key stage 2 results show that 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is five percentage points below the local authority average of 69%. That gap is worth noting, but the school’s story is more nuanced than a single headline figure. In maths, for instance, 75% of pupils hit the expected standard and the average scaled score was 106, while in writing 82% met expectations. Where the school really stands out is in its improvement trajectory: its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, judged that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was rated Good overall. That earlier inspection had followed an Inadequate rating in 2012, so the direction of travel is clearly upward.
