Welcome to our Academy
I am delighted to welcome you to Harris Academy Purley
Our motto - ‘to learn, to think, to act’ - enshrines a core tenet of our philosophy and that is that education in the classroom is only the beginning of a young person’s development and of education in general. Learning can only come to fruition once it is assimilated and an individual is able to think for themselves. In turn, thought must lead to action and practical application.

Our stories
Mr Johnson
I am originally from the Caribbean, where education and discipline were always highly valued. When moving to the UK, I looked for a school with strong expectations, clear structure, and a genuine commitment to students achieving their best, and HAPU immediately stood out.
