Hi everyone,

This is to all of you thinking of going to harris westminster sixth form. I am a former student (just finished this year) and I decided to open this forum to try and save a few souls.
There's a lot I have to say about the school but I would just end up writing forever so feel free to ask me any questions you have! :smile:


We had one of these last year or year before. Not complimentary at all about the teaching. The poster was not a happy bunny.

My question is if you dont advise going there, then what are better alternatives?

It was a detailed on. I remember them saying about hiring Oxbridge grads in for teaching staff etc.
I think it was Harris Westminster and not Westminster? Not realised the difference until I just googled.

After going to Harris Westminster I know that what you see in the open evening or online is very different to the actual experience, so i can't really give any solid recommendations for sixth forms that i've never been to. Having said that I know quite a few people who went to Pimlico Academy and Grey Coat's Hospital that were happy and got great results.
whats actually wrong with the school?
