Description

It opened to a single year group, Year 7 in September 2018, with 90% of students following the EBacc curriculum of English, Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, a Humanities subject (History and Geography) and a language (Spanish and Latin). [4]

Curriculum intent

Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. [5] Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate(EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. Schools have been strongly advised to offer a three-year Key Stage 3. The Harris Academy Wimbledon has decided that there are grounds for teaching all of its pupils Spanish and Latin. Spanish is justified on the number of hispanophones worldwide. [6]

Buildings

The school opened in a refurbished Victoria premises but is to move new premises designed by CPMG Architects in 2020. [7] Though the site is compact, it offers sports opportunities in football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, and tennis.
