in 1931, a clock tower was built at the front of the original 1930s building. The new Harris Academy retained the clock tower that was put in storage during the construction of the new school building. The clock tower was renovated, painted and later retained on a platform at the eastern side of the school campus. The platform that the clock tower stands on was built from the foundations of the former games hall and the 1960s extension from the former Perth Road building. The original Harris Academy facade was built at the front of the original Perth Road building in 1931. The facade was built as a main entrance to the building from the 1930s until the 1960s when an extension with other entrances were built. During the construction of the new Harris Academy, the facade was put in storage along with the clock tower and once the new building was completed, the original facade was retained at the reception area of the new school. Planned extension In 2021, an extension to the school was proposed which would be located at the rear of the main building which would have six extra classrooms, boosting the school's capacity from 1,300 to 1,500. The proposals for an extension to the school came as a result of concern that the school would be overcapacity at the start of the 2023-24 school term. In August 2022, the proposals were approved and the extension is due to be built by the 2023-24 school term.
