About Us

Welcome to Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green, a nurturing, well-established Harris Academy, where we firmly believe in Excellence: every child, every day. It gives me great pleasure to extend my warmest greetings and share the vibrant spirit of our academy with you all.

Situated in the heart of Beckenham, our academy might be small with only one form in each year, but our ambitions for our pupils are anything but. We are part of the larger Harris Federation, and we enjoy strong, enriching partnerships with other academies within the federation, particularly those around the Bromley borough.

At Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green, we recognise that the school experience is more than just academics. It's about creating a safe, happy, and respectful environment where everyone is valued, and individuality is celebrated. We are dedicated to fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and kindness. After all, every child has the right to feel safe, happy and respected, and this is central to our ethos.

We go above and beyond the usual expectations to ensure that our students receive an education that not only imparts knowledge but also enriches lives. We strive to cultivate curiosity, enthusiasm, and a passion for learning. With a focus that extends beyond the classroom and into the wider community, our learners have the opportunity to grow into citizens of Beckenham and the world.

We are driven by a belief that education has the power to be life-changing. To that end, we strive to create an environment that instills a love of learning, encourages students to dream big, and equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve those dreams.

I invite you to register your interest for one of our 30 places in each year group. Please do not hesitate to get in touch via our school office. Our office team will be more than happy to guide you through our admissions process and answer any questions you may have about our academy.

Thank you for considering Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green for your child's education. We look forward to potentially welcoming you to our school family and sharing this educational journey with you and your child.
