'''Harris Academy at Peckham''' (also known as the '''Academy at Peckham''' or '''Peckham Academy''') is a [[coeducational]] [[secondary school]] in the town of [[Peckham]], [[London Borough of Southwark]]. The school specialises in Business Studies, ICT and the Performing Arts. (Drama, Dance & Music). The current head of the Performing Arts at the school is Mr Ray Lau, who also works for [[Ofsted]].


Previously, the school was called '''Warrick Park''' until [[Philip Harris, Baron Harris of Peckham|Lord Harris]] started the [[Harris Federation]] which sponsors numerous academies around [[South London]]. The school was refurbished and re-named to Harris at Peckham. In 2007 the school was re-named once again, this time to Harris Academy at Peckham, noting that the school was now a [[Academy (England)|academy]]. This also resulted in a change of blazer logo.

Vanessa Ray took over the role of Principal at the school shortly after Peter Crook left the post for medical reasons.{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Mrs Ray became Principal in 2007.

The school timetable currently consists of four periods a day, with the school starting at 8:40 and ending at around 15:40. But the new principal has planned to change the school timetable as of September 2008 from 8:40 until 15:30 but instead with five lessons a day, similar to other schools in the area, which will be made shorter. Talks have finished between the school and Southwark Council (who agreed to the new timetable) and now the school looks set to adapt to the new timetable in September 2008.

On December 19th 2007, Anita Johnson left her post as Vice Principal of the Academy to become a Headmistress at another school. Mr Steven Wilson took her place.

In September 2008, a student apparently attacked another with a hammer. Police blocked off the playground area for unknown reasons.
