"Outstanding Community Spirit"

I'm thoroughly impressed with the community spirit at Harris Academy South Norwood. The school's recent charity events, including the Christmas food bank donations and the Frozen production, have shown me that the students are not just excellent academically, but also kind and compassionate individuals. I feel confident that my son is receiving a well-rounded education that will benefit him in the long run.

"Excellent Music Department"

I was blown away by the quality of the music department at Harris Academy South Norwood. My daughter has been enjoying her weekly music lessons and the school's recent announcement about being part of the RTM family is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff. The facilities are also top-notch and I'm so grateful to see my daughter thrive in such a supportive environment.

"A Good School but Room for Improvement"

I have mixed feelings about Harris Academy South Norwood. My son did well academically and I appreciate the school's efforts to provide a range of extracurricular activities. However, I do think that the school could improve communication with parents, especially regarding important events and deadlines. Overall, it's a good school but not perfect.
