Principal's Welcome

Top 3% of schools nationally in 2023 for year on year improvement.

I am delighted to welcome you to the official website of Harris Science Academy East London (HSAEL). HSAEL is a new, small school with big ambitions. We are a co-educational secondary academy and Sixth Form with a mission to provide children in this part of East London with a truly world-class education. We are committed to helping every child leave the Academy with the academic currency and good character to become a leader in their chosen field and to make a positive change in their community.

This is no ordinary school, and we are very proud of that. Situated in an eclectic array of buildings next to the renowned Three Mills Studios (location of BBC’s Masterchef) amongst the iconic East London canal network, this is a unique setting to provide a life changing education for the children of East London.  The Academy is set to grow further as we move into state-of-the-art facilities in West Ham in 2026.

My son has never been so happy and excited to wake up and go to school, and the merit goes to everyone at the school. I hope this doesn’t stop”. HSAEL Parent - 2024

I joined the school in April 2023 from an outstanding academy in South East London that, over five years, became one of the top performing schools in the UK. I have worked in comprehensive, selective, state, and private schools since joining the profession in 2012. With my team, I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to deliver this exciting vision for your child. Over the last 12 months, the Academy has been completely transformed, comfortably securing us as one of the most improved and fastest improving schools in the UK. We are incredibly proud of our achievements to date and are excited about the future for our wonderful students.

The Academy’s mission guides everything we do. We talk about it constantly and continually reflect on how we are doing. We teach children how to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner and to ‘be the best versions of themselves’. Our curriculum is stimulating and challenging, and our teachers are, across the board, experts in their subjects. Our approach to pastoral care means every student feels safe and can learn, and our timetable is packed with trips, talks, clubs, and activities that make the most of our location close to the centre of London.

Happy and focussed students – a genuine transformation.” (Secondary Director of Education – 2024)

I hope these pages give you a flavour of the Academy, our mission and our recent achievements. Visits to the Academy are welcome. Please contact info@harrisscienceeastlondon.org.uk to book.

Principal
