Harris Academy Bermondsey
Location
The academy is located on the A2206, on Southwark Park Road. The nearest train station is South Bermondsey, which is on the South London Line and connects to Peckham and Crystal Palace, with a new station, New Bermondsey, possible on the proposed London Overground East London Line connecting to Clapham Junction. The nearest tube station, Bermondsey on the Jubilee line, is located on Jamaica Road.
Uniform
The uniform changed in 2006 along with the name. Pupils were asked to decide what colours they wanted to wear on their uniforms and it was decided, through a vote, that pink was the most suitable colour. So the uniform since 2006 has changed to a navy skirt or trousers, navy suit jacket, long or short-sleeved pink open-neck Academy blouse, dark navy or black shoes, plain white, black or blue socks, plain dark tights and academy dark-coloured coat. This is now for the whole school, but the school bag is not optional for 7, 8, 9, and 10 and 11. It is only optional for years 12 above
Student clubs
Harris Academy Bermondsey has a lineup of clubs that mainly focus on media and enterprise, but also include other subject areas.
Harris Federation
The Harris Federation runs 52 primary and secondary academies in London and Essex. There are fourteen schools in the federation, with plans for more. The schools are all sponsored by the Lord Harris of Peckham, who is investing around £2 million into them to make new facilities and for re-development of certain schools.
