Welcome to Harris Boys' Academy East Dulwich, a thriving school which has been in the top 5% of schools in England and Wales for pupil progress for the past five years.

We have completed our open events for 2023. Details of our open events in the autumn of 2024 will be added nearer the time. 

What makes us special goes far beyond our “outstanding” rating by Ofsted. At the heart of our success is an absolute belief in the ability of every student to shine – no matter what their background, ability or character. Thank you for considering our academy for your son and please do contact us if you have any queries.

What Year 7 boys say...

Everyone was in Year 7 once. We asked Mohammed, Abdulahi, Ty-Rhys, Joshua and Dylan (pictured below) to look back on their first weeks at Harris Dulwich Boys. The five all came from different primary schools - Oliver Goldsmiths, Brunswick Park, Goose Green, Rathfern and Heber – but all managed to make new friends and settle in well.
