"I wanted to forward some lovely compliments I received regarding the school, yourself and the staff from a friend of mine... My friend is very thorough in her research and not often one to sugar coat her words. She visited many schools in Tottenham, Leystonstone and some in Hackney...Harris Academy...was her most preferred of all the schools she saw and was clear to her that the school maintained 'very high standards'."

Chehvani Leonard , February 2017

"I just wanted to say that our children have always been happy at the school, and we will always be grateful for the friendships, lovely teachers and warm community we have had here.Thank you for everything you have done for us and for the school"

Hazel, James, Arthur and Peggy, February 2017

"Parents were invited to come into Reception to read with the children, and I wanted to feedback on my experience. We were welcomed warmly, and the staff and children seemed happy to see us. The kids were excited to choose a book and listen to us read, they were attentive, engaged and enthusiastic. I enjoyed getting to know some of my son's friends.This was a lovely initiative, and it's always a treat to have some time inside the children's classrooms."
