Student Voice

The voice of our students plays an important part in the successful running of the Academy.

There are many avenues through which students can voice their views, both informally and formally. From running for Student Leadership Group to joining Student Council to participating in student surveys, we want every student to know that their voice is heard and valued.

Student Voice also provides opportunities for students to engage with the larger community. By supporting charities through fundraisers, raising the profile of the academy within Beckenham and opportunities to participate in the Bromley Youth Council, students have the chance for student voices to be amplified and make an impact beyond our four walls.

If you would like to find out more about our Student Voice programme at Harris Academy Beckenham then please email Mr Shone g.shone@harrisbeckenham.org.uk.

Message from our Head Girl and Head Boy

Here's a message from the Head Boy and Head Girl here at Harris Academy Beckenham.

Our 6th form student leaders are taking the lead with Student Voice. The Head Boy and Girl lead Student Leadership Group meetings with Prefects mentoring year groups. They meet on a regular basis to plan and present ideas to the Principal and Assistant Leadership Group.

Hello there, everyone! This is a message from 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.

From the Head Girl and Head Boy, Harris Academy Beckenham


Student Leadership Group

Our Student Leadership Group (SLG) at HABE is made up of eight societies around each of our eight HABEcharacter traits. To be part of the Character Societies, students across all year groups have the opportunity to go through a rigorous application process at the beginning of each academic year. 

Each character trait is focused on a specific key area, creating action plans and working towards their own projects to improve the student experience here at HABE throughout the year:

  • Kindness Society – Mentoring Programmes
  • Respect Society – Anti-Bullying Programmes
  • Integrity Society – School Culture & Character Development Days
  • Ambition Society – Careers Development
  • Creativity Society – Enrichment & Creative Voices
  • Courage Society – Mental Health Provision
  • Curiosity Society – Teaching and Learning & Literacy
  • Optimism Society – Rewards and Charity Work

Character Societies

This year, a total of 80 students across year groups 7-13 have successfully secured their membership in one of the Character Societies, following a rigorous application process of 130 applicants. Each Society is led by two Sixth Form students, taking on the responsibilities as Society Chair and Society Secretary.
