Harris Professional Skills Sixth Form

About Harris Professional Skills Sixth Form

Harris Professional Skills Sixth Form, a state-funded 16-19 school in Croydon, has been rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection, a solid starting point for parents considering post-16 options. The school is significantly oversubscribed, with 259 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 230, suggesting strong local demand. The most telling academic metric for a sixth form is its Progress 8 score, which measures how much students improve between the end of primary school and their GCSEs. While the school’s own Progress 8 figure is not provided in the data, the local authority average for Croydon stands at -0.04, meaning students across the borough typically make slightly less progress than the national average. This context is useful for benchmarking, though without the school’s specific score, it’s hard to say how Harris Professional Skills compares directly. What is clear is that the school serves a niche as a specialist sixth form focused on professional skills, which may attract students who value vocational pathways alongside traditional academics.
