Harris Academy Upper Norwood (formerly Westwood High School and then Westwood Girls' College for Languages and Arts and Ingram County Secondary Girls' School) is a girls' secondary school with academy status, located in the Upper Norwood area of the London Borough of Croydon, England. The school is sponsored by the Harris Federation.[1]

The school offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils. The school specialises in languages and the arts, and has additional facilities for the specialisms. The school will open a sixth form provision in September 2014, which will offer a range of A Levels and additional BTECs.[2]

The school was formerly a community school under the direct control of Croydon London Borough Council. However the school was rated as "inadequate" in its most recent Ofsted inspection report and was put into special measures in January 2013. The governors of the school decided to pursue academy status, with the school becoming part of the Harris Federation in September 2013.[3] the school was then renamed Harris Academy Upper Norwood.

In September 2014, the school amalgamated with Harris Academy South Norwood, sharing teachers and a sixth form campus. [4]
