Harris Academy Peckham Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Harris Academy Peckham?

The catchment area for Harris Academy Peckham is the geographic zone Southwark uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Southwark before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
