Welcome to our Academy

Uncompromising yet caring in everything that we do.

Being uncompromising yet caring is at the heart of all we do. We have unapologetically high expectations of the girls in our care and the staff who teach and support them. This is set against a backdrop of being relentlessly bothered about the well-being, progress and success of our academy body.

Welcome to Harris Academy Bermondsey

“Enrichment at HAB is about unlocking every student’s potential by offering inspiring opportunities that build confidence, spark ambition and develop skills for life beyond the classroom.”

“In order to make sure the transition works for every child that starts in Year 7, we make sure that we communicate with parents and carers. We make sure that we really get to know the girls and get to understand their needs.”

“We believe that education doesn’t just teach academic skills, it teaches life. By the time students leave HAB they develop the skills and attributes needed to succeed in society.”

“Our student leaders are enthusiastic, they are consistent and they are committed. They lead with compassion, ambition and respect. They sit on panels and their voices are considered and it shows that we value their ideas and their contribution to the school.”

“The support offered at HAB has pushed me personally to strive in my academics and outside my studies as well, which I am really thankful for as it has allowed me to realise my abilities.”

Bermondsey Puppet and Storytelling Festival 2026 📚

We are delighted to share that some year 7 HAB students will be taking part in the exciting Bermondsey Puppet and Storytelling Festival 2026, a new family-friendly programme of free puppet-making and storytelling workshops taking place across Bermondsey from 16 May to 12 July.

As part of the festival, professional storytellers and puppeteers Minnie Wilkinson and Simon Lyson will be visiting HAB on 24th June for a creative two-hour workshop. During the session, pupils will enjoy interactive storytelling activities and create their own puppets, learning how stories can be brought to life through imagination, performance, and art.

The school workshops form part of a wider community celebration, with local families invited to attend a series of free evening and weekend public workshops throughout the festival. These sessions will give families the opportunity to make puppets together, hear stories from around the world, and explore puppetry with experienced artists.

The festival will culminate in a free outdoor celebration at Bermondsey Spa Gardens on Sunday 12th July, where community-made puppets will appear alongside performances by professional storytellers and puppeteers.

We are very pleased for our pupils to be involved in this creative community project and look forward to seeing their wonderful puppet creations.
