HSAEL News

The provisional England school performance tables have confirmed the very pleasing progress we have made as an organisation over the past two years. In September 2022, outcomes at the then East London Science School were amongst the worst in the city (P8 -0.97), with disadvantaged students performing even worse (-1.5). Thanks to unified leadership, exemplary behaviour, an academic curriculum for every child and frequent opportunities for character development, the Academy is proud to report the below achievements:

· HSAEL is the most improved school in Newham and Tower Hamlets over 2 years (out of more than 40 schools).

· HSAEL is the 4th most improved school in London over 2 years (out of more than 300 schools).

· HSAEL is the 24th most improved school in England over 2 years (out of more than 5000 schools).

· Progress made by disadvantaged students at HSAEL was in the top 12.5% of schools in the country, outperforming non - disadvantaged students at the Academy (this is virtually unheard of).

· Provision at HSAEL has matched that of the high performing Chobham Academy (Chobham has been Outstanding ever since it opened 10 years ago).

· Outcomes and student progress at HSAEL is now better than all of our local competitor schools.

· Disadvantaged student progress at HSAEL outperformed overall progress at very established and over-subscribed Newham schools.

Principal, Dan MacPherson, said: “These results give further encouragement that Harris Science Academy East London will be one the best schools in the country by 2028 and I could not be happier with the progress made. Perhaps the most exciting thing of all is that we have really just begun, as our current Year 11 are on track to push the bar even higher. These results are not achieved in isolation, but thanks to strong partnerships with families. Together, we are supporting your children to become leaders in their chosen field and change the world.”.
