Harris Academy Beulah Hill

School overview

Harris Academy Beulah Hill is a secondary school serving London, Croydon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 1,029 pupils aged 11 to 19 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 44.4 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

34% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 56% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Harris Academy Beulah Hill their first choice was offered one of its 171 Year 7 places. Overall pupil absence was 7.6%. There are about 17.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 48% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Harris Academy Beulah Hill does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
