HGABR Continues to be an 'Outstanding' School
We are delighted to announce that, following their inspection of our Academy last month, Ofsted inspectors have concluded that Harris Girls Academy Bromley “continues to be an outstanding school.”
This brilliant outcome is testament to all our students, staff and the wider Academy community whose continued hard work has allowed us to maintain the highest standards in all areas of school life. Pleasingly, the inspectors noted and praised our “ambitious curriculum”, high standards of teaching and “exceptional examination results”.

It was particularly pleasing that inspectors highlighted the respect and care which our students have for one another and for their teachers. As ever, our students were a credit to the Academy and themselves during the inspectors’ visit.
You can read the full report here but below are some highlights:
On our welcoming school community:
- ‘Pupils are successful at this school and play a full part in its caring community.’
