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.

Harris Academy is one of the worst run schools for Bullying, no policy and will override the victim if more than one bully becomes involved so 2 bullies beat 1 viictim, this is there policy and always will be. They stop the teenager from talking to them and trusting them, the teenage Victim then becomes suicidal (I have experienced this first hand) and wants to what they call Unliveable which was caused by the non Bully Policy of Harris Academy, I have since found out that so many parents have taken their teenage children out of Harris Academy Wimbledon to homeschool the children. Do not believe the head of lower year or upper year as so many times they had been informed by the teenagers mother/father about the bullying of their child and was told that they have a very strict bullying policy (To protect the Bullies only), told parents one thing then said differently to others and blamed the Victim who I might as well say had Black eyes, bleeding. Ose? Swollen cheeks, cuts, bruises and strangulation marks on the neck but each time parents are told “I can assure you that your child will be safe here”, they are never save at these Academy because some teachers are to scared of the teenagers. Well done to all parents who are homeschooling their child and shame on the parents who have been informed that their child hit, punched and kicked a child. Get rid of the Academy Schools and make better judgements on the bullies. Maybe it’s the case that the parents of bullies are helping the Harris Academy Schools with donation's and the HAWi especially will not discipline the bully but sent the victim to isolation for 3 days. Were is the justice? STAY AWAY FROM ANY HARRISON ACADEMY SCHOOL!!!! You might as well Homeschool your child.
Harris Academy do not care about victims of bullying at all. I have personally experienced the awful suicidal experience of a teenager and it’s heartbreaking.
