Thoughts on Harris Girls' Academy Bromley

My daughter has got a place in year 7 at Harris Girls' Academy Bromley. We are located in Downham with our local school being the very much failing Conisborough College so we were a bit stuck for schools.

This was our third choice after seeing the progress 8 reports and and the exam results however that doesn't necessarily paint a full picture. I know historically Cator Park School didn't have the best rep but it seems like that has changed.

Does anyone who has a daughter at the school tell me more about what you like and dislike about the school? Are you happy that your daughter goes there?

Cator Park has really improved (DH is a teacher in the area). Personally I think the Harris operation has got too big and it doesn’t have the best rep. Is Cator Park an option? Bit of a nightmare on the bus though I think.

TBF anywhere apart from the three closest ones are a nightmare on the bus!
