Harris Girls' Academy Bromley

Harris Girls' Academy Bromley is a secondary school located in North Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley. The academy takes in girls between the ages of 11 and 18 and in 2011 the school joined a federation of academies in South London called the Harris Federation named after the Lord Harris of Peckham who is sponsoring them. Harris Federation is a federation of Primary and Secondary academies in South London, England. There are currently fourteen open academies in the federation which span over five London boroughs including the London Borough of Croydon, London Borough of Southwark, London Borough of Bexley, London Borough of Merton and most recently the London Borough of Bromley. Their most recently opened Academy is based in the Essex Borough of Thurrock. The academies' sponsor is Phil Harris (Lord Harris of Peckham), the chairman and chief executive of Carpetright. The federation is a not-for-profit charitable organisation whose stated key aim is "to promote the education of young people in South London". The group is generally oversubscribed in most of its Academies, particularly Harris City Academy Crystal Palace with an average of 1,500 applicants for 200 spaces. The Chief Executive Officer is Sir Daniel Moynihan, previously Principal of the Harris City Academy Crystal Palace. He is the full time CEO at the Harris Federation Headquarters in South Norwood. The Federation aims to grow to 25 or more Primary and Secondary Academies in the next few years.
