“The thing I like about HAP the most is the education. The learning experience is wonderful. The teachers are very nice, very understanding and they have a high impact on my life. It’s one big community here and everyone is welcome.”
"The thing I like the most about Harris Academy Peckham is the library. It has such a great selection of books."
"My favourite subjects are Art, because it allows me to be creative, and Science, because I like doing experiments."
“As part of our Peckham Privilege, we have endless possibilities. The music lessons here are overall the best experience I’ve had. The teachers have helped me by being there to support me. They stay with you to make sure you get that one note perfectly right.”
“When I first joined the school, I was anxious about homework, detentions, and the workload. Now, with support and guidance, I’ve come to realise there was nothing to fear—and that I’m capable of more than I thought.”
“This is a great school with dedicated teachers who genuinely care about their students. Unfortunately, some people judge it unfairly based on its location, without seeing the positive experiences and opportunities it offers.”
"What I love most about Harris Academy Peckham is the teachers. They not only teach us well but also give amazing support."
“I am a dedicated student, committed to building a future that will make my family, my school, and my community proud.”
“There is a huge range of staff who can be on hand to help families and children who need that extra bit of support to be successful in the classroom and with their wellbeing outside.”
“Our curriculum is incredibly ambitious. It is rooted in the most powerful knowledge that our students require to be successful. With the intent and the vision of creating global citizens who leave HAP ready to access the world around them.”
"Our dedication ensures every student is empowered to thrive."
"Nothing compares to watching our students step into a professional performance space and completely own it."
