25 November 2022Message from our Head Girl and Head BoyHere's a message from James and Olivia, the Head Boy and Head Girl here at Harris Academy Beckenham. Find out more about Student Voice at HABE. Hello there, everyone! We are James and Olivia, the Head Boy and Head Girl here at Harris Academy Beckenham! Both of us have been students at HABE since Year 7, and so we have seen first-hand the growth of HABE throughout the years. As Sixth Form students now, it feels both scary and exciting to be completing our A-Levels and advancing into our future after HABE! However, we are incredibly grateful for the staff here at our school, for their passion and drive towards helping us achieve our full potential. Since we have been here for so long, we understand some of the troubles that our younger students can face, whether it be stress from homework, schoolwork, exams or other circumstances. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it can still be quite hard for some students to adjust to normal school life and adapt to new forms of learning. As a result, we are both very focused on giving a voice to these students, both through our positions as senior members of the Student Leadership Group (which helps to make improvements in different parts of our school). Recently, we have been focusing on subjects such as bullying and mental health, as well as deciding on which charity we should choose in light of the upcoming Christmas Break, which can be a very stressful time for many, especially given the country’s circumstances at this time. We want to be figures that students can approach with any problem, from worries about their mental health to even struggles with a particular subject they are studying. We would be more than happy to listen to them! We aspire, as Head Boy and Head Girl, to ensure that every student at Harris Academy Beckenham has a comfortable and enjoyable learning experience, whether it be your first day of Year 7, or your last week in Year 13! We do hope you have a wonderful time at our school, and we are always here as someone to listen to – and be a voice – to your concerns. We hope you have a lovely and safe Christmas Break, and we’ll see you in the New Year! James and Olivia :)

19 July 2019The Harris Federation Art ExhibitionOn a very warm July summers evening, Harris Federation held its inaugural Summer Art Exhibition at our flagship Academy - Harris Westminster. The exhibition was organised by Harris art teachers with the view of raising the profile of Art as a subject and to celebrate artwork with the reward of an annual prize. Each Harris was encouraged to submit a piece of artwork by two students from different key-stages. We entered Georgia (KS5) and London (KS4). Both attended the private viewing, bringing with them extremely proud members of their family. We all enjoyed seeing their artworks in an ‘real’ exhibition setting, with their work professionally framed and displayed. Both had to title their artwork - something they both confessed to have been terrifying! Although our students didn’t win in their categories, their work will next be exhibited at the annual Harris Conference in the Autumn.
