Harris Federation

In September 2007 Harris CTC was integrated into the Harris Federation. This Federation was set up by the same Lord Harris of Peckham and has been set-up as a coalition of several secondary schools in Croydon and Southwark. These schools also include the former Stanley Technical High School in South Norwood. Because of this, Harris CTC changed its name to Harris City Academy Crystal Palace [cite web | title = Harris City Academy Crystal Palace|work = Official webpage | url = http://www.harriscrystalpalace.org.uk/ | accessmonthday = 20 March | accessyear = 2007 ] .
