At Harris Girls Academy Bromley, we have built a school community where we hold character and academic excellence in equally high regard.
Progress 8 for the school was in the top 100 in the country last year, and we were the only school from this group with a student body that has above average disadvantage and below average EAL. Learning, curriculum, and pedagogy is exemplary here. We are equally proud of the way we see our students conduct themselves in our classrooms and corridors on a day-to-day basis. It is a privilege to teach students at Bromley.
We believe that we have built something special here through a leadership at all levels philosophy of constant improvement and listening to our students, staff, and wider community. Leadership at HGABR means constantly reviewing and reinventing our approach as we respond to the new opportunities and challenges our young people present and seek to improve the education they receive. Leadership at HGABR considers that the academy exists as an important community organization that has an impact on a significant number of lives, and we believe that stewarding this organization is a responsibility that requires dedication and excellence from us.
