Harris Merton is in the Top 10% of Schools in the Country for Progress

Congratulations to our GCSE students (and the school community) on another set of excellent results!

Harris Academy Merton has seen another year of outstanding GCSE results, as shown by the published national league tables.

Progress 8 Score

The academic progress that pupils make from the end of key stage 2 to the end of key stage 4. This is based on 8 qualifications.

The banding for Harris Merton is ‘well above average’.

The below Progress 8 score is for academic year 2023/24 as the DFE cannot calculate Progress 8 scores for this academic year 2024/25. This is because there is no KS2 assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption. 

Harris Merton is ranked in the top 10% of schools in the country for progress.

Attainment 8

Schools get a score based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications.
