Harris Academy South Norwood Celebrates Outstanding Key Stage 5 Success
Harris Academy South Norwood is celebrating an exceptional set of Key Stage 5 results this summer, reflecting the hard work, resilience and ambition of our Year 13 students.
As part of our shared sixth form with Harris Academy Beulah Hill, the majority of A Level students were based at Beulah Hill this year. However, a significant number completed all or most of their studies at Harris Academy South Norwood, and their outstanding results are a testament to the excellent teaching, personalised support and high aspirations that define our Sixth Form experience.
This year's cohort has secured an impressive range of university destinations, including highly competitive courses in Medicine, Pharmacy, Architecture and History at leading institutions. These achievements demonstrate what can be accomplished when talented young people are supported by dedicated staff and challenged to fulfil their potential.
