Exam Results
Congratulations to all Year 11 & Year 13 students on their 2021 GCSE & A-Level results at Harris Girls’ Academy Bromley. Each and every one of our students deserves to be commended.
View our Department for Education performance information. See how we compare with other schools in Bromley.
The grades achieved reflect the hard work of students at the Academy, not just over the past couple of years but throughout their time at school.
All students stayed motivated and engaged throughout the national lockdowns which took place over the course of the pandemic, attending a full schedule of live online lessons. When schools were allowed to return, they grasped every opportunity to make up for the lost time in face-to-face teaching.
Many students stayed late after school to work in the library or attend catch-up classes and they also gave up their time during the holidays to attend our summer school. I must also thank their families, and of course all staff at the Academy, for their phenomenal support, hard work and enthusiasm over a remarkably difficult two-years in education.
We are thrilled that the majority of our Year 11 students have decided to continue their studies with us and also with the brilliant university destinations our Year 13 students are moving onto, including Warwick, Leeds and UCL, to name a few. We wish all of our students the best of luck in their next steps.
