HABS 2nd in England & Wales for Student Progress

Maths teacherHarris Academy Battersea is ranked 2nd in the whole of England and Wales for student progress, according to a new secondary school league table that takes into account the background of students. 

The Fairer Schools Index, created by the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, uses an adjusted Progress 8 score which takes into account gender and other factors, such as whether students are eligible for free school meals.

"Developing our young people both academically and personally is at the heart of everything we do at Harris Academy Battersea and we are delighted with this recognition of the hard work of our students and staff," said Principal Paula Leigh.
