Harris academies - share positive experience maybe?

Every time a Harris secondary is mentioned here, it's critisized heavily. I've read most of the posts and not asking for more critique.
But does anyone here actually have positive experience?

I'm going to an open morning next week so hopefully the school provides a student to answer all my questions (around 20 atm) but any positive input from mumsnet would be appreciated.

@NeverDropYourMooncup I visited another school with similar reputation (Ashcroft) and kids with normal behaviour are actually happy there and protected from bullies and dusruption.
They shrug off detentions because they just happen.
So seeing it in person made me reconsider as my child is not a bully, never caused disruption in a classroom and has a supportive family.

And because of the "strict" reputation parents who are aware of their DC bad behaviour don't apply there.

Your kid will be fine if they're perfect, your home life is perfect, your income and health are perfect.

They have fancy buildings.

They try to prescreen applications in breach of the law , which might appeal to some parents.

They also offroll aggressively as above. Which might appeal as well.
