Our school has approximately 1250 students aged 11-16, making it noticeably larger than the average secondary school.

I am proud to be Headteacher of a school which truly serves its local community. We are a values driven school and there is a moral purpose to working at Harper Green, where we strive to transform the lives of our young people.
