Harris Westminster Sixth Form
About Harris Westminster Sixth Form
If you are considering Harris Westminster Sixth Form, the first thing to know is that it is a highly sought-after state sixth form, and the numbers back that up. The school is oversubscribed, with 619 pupils on roll against a capacity of 600, which tells you that demand is strong. While the school data does not include a parentView recommend percentage, the oversubscription ratio alone signals that families in Westminster and beyond are actively choosing this school. It is a mixed, non-denominational 16-19 institution, so there is no lower school to feed into it; every student arrives at 16, which creates a focused, academic atmosphere from day one. The headteacher is Claire Scott, and the school sits in the heart of Westminster, London, within the Westminster local authority. It is not a boarding school, so all students are day pupils, and the school has a dedicated Sixth Form Centre, which is a practical plus for post-16 study.
