Harris Academy Morden are celebrating another fantastic year of GCSE results. The new DFE measure of Progress 8 (where the National Average result for schools is 0.0) preliminary shows Harris Morden to once more be within the Top 10% of schools nationally with a fantastic score of +0.69. Principal Lee Mallin said “We are so proud of our students and staff. They work so closely together to ensure students are well prepared for the new and harder GCSEs. The staff work above and beyond, late into the evening to ensure the students get the best chance to be successful. Well done to all staff and students!” Harris Academy Morden’s Progress 8 score of +0.69 demonstrates that on average their students are achieving close to ¾ of a grade higher in each subject than the national average with notable success stories like Aysha below: Aysha Aysha joined Harris Academy Morden in year 7 and is from Mitcham. She began the school as a shy and unassuming student, but sought to take herself out of her comfort zone. Aysha took up a position as a member of Merton Youth Parliament and was chosen as a Senior Prefect whilst in year 11. Aysha has high expectations for herself and intends to go to a Russel Group University, being the first person in her family to do so. Aysha achieved the following GCSE results at our Academy: Biology 9 Chemistry 9 English Lan 9 English Lit 9 History 8 Mathematics 8 Physics 8 Spanish 8 Well done Aysha!

Our students made £80 for global warming initiatives yesterday at Christie's Auction House in London. The art piece they created over several weeks was bid for by Lord Harris himself but was outbid by another buyer. A massive thank you to Mr Dynes for his help organising the students to produce this piece over several weeks.

It is AEE week! Lots of trips have taken place so far... here is the group at Kew Gardens today!
