Welcome to Harris Clapham Sixth Form. It is a privilege to lead an academy built on a love of learning and a belief in the transformational power of education.

We serve students in Lambeth and beyond with a rigorous curriculum, expert teaching, and a community that believes every young person can achieve more than they imagine. 

As part of the Harris Federation, the highest performing multi-academy trust in the country, we combine the care of a close-knit sixth form with the strength and stability of a proven network of outstanding schools. 

Our students have the freedom to shape their own journey through our extensive range of A Level and vocational courses. Whether your ambitions lie in a top university, a competitive apprenticeship, or a specialist career, we provide pathways that match your goals, interests, and strengths.

"Whatever path you take, our curriculum is designed to open doors and fuel your aspirations."

At Harris Clapham, we hold ourselves to high standards while offering the support you need to achieve them. Small class sizes ensure every student is known, challenged, and encouraged, and our mature, university-style environment and personal development opportunities give you the freedom to take on leadership, join societies, and explore your potential.

Our industry partnerships and careers programme also provide opportunities to gain real-world experience, build professional networks, and prepare for life after sixth form.

Everything we do is guided by the Clapham Character. We aim to develop courage, commitment, and confidence – giving you the skills, mindset, and resilience to succeed academically, personally, and professionally. We teach you to face challenges, stay determined, and believe in yourself, so setbacks become opportunities and achievement is earned through effort and integrity.

Your future starts here. Come as you are, and we will teach you to fly.

“The counsellor is always available to help and talk to about anything. You can just drop in. HACL6 has supported me a lot through the UCAS process."

"The best thing about HACL6 is that you are independent, you are your own person and it provides a great stepping stone to your next destination after you finish school."

"Our teachers are very approachable, fun and aren't afraid to crack a cringe joke occasionally which keeps lessons entertaining and lifts our spirits!"

"The Cultural Perspectives programme is great, because you get to do new and different things outside of your subjects, and it is a great way to make new friends."
