Harris Federation
30 state secondaries · 2024/25 Department for Education figures
Harris Federation runs 30 state secondaries in England, spread across 15 council areas. 27 of them have a sixth form.
19 of them joined as sponsored academies, taken on after being judged to be failing; the 11 others chose to convert and were generally rated Good or better already. Those two groups start from different places.
40% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, against 28.4% nationally.
On passing English and maths at grade 5 its schools run from 32.2% to 70.2%. Those are raw results and reflect who each school takes in as much as anything the trust does, so they are worth reading school by school rather than as a score for the trust.

These are raw results. Progress 8, the measure that allows for who a school took in, is not published for 2024/25, so there is no figure here that separates what a trust does from who its schools take. Two trusts with the same numbers can be doing very different jobs.

What these mean
- Attainment 8
- The average pupil's total score across eight GCSE-equivalent subjects, with English and maths counting double. It is scored out of 90. A score of 50 is roughly equivalent to achieving a grade 5 across eight subjects.
- Grades 4 and 5
- GCSEs are graded from 9 down to 1. Grade 4 is a standard pass and broadly corresponds to the old grade C; grade 5 is what the government calls a strong pass. Grade 7 is broadly equivalent to an old grade A.
- Persistent absence
- The share of pupils who miss at least 10% of their possible sessions during the school year. This includes both authorised and unauthorised absence, so illness and other authorised reasons are included. Persistent absence has remained substantially higher than its pre-pandemic level.
- Spare places
- The amount of available capacity a school has compared with the number of pupils on roll. This is different from oversubscription: spare places measure whether a school has capacity, whereas oversubscription describes demand for places exceeding the number available. A school with no spare places may be popular, but a small school can also be full without receiving a large number of applications.
