School Trips and visits

Each Half term each year group will welcome a guest speaker or enjoy a trip, to reinforce their learning.  Trips and visits help to ignite the children's interest in a new topic or theme. 

Trips include:

• The Cutty Sark
• Greenwich Observatory
• Local museums
• Local theatres
• Garden Centres
• The O2
• The London Eye
• The Houses of Parliament
• Our local shopping centre

Academy visitors include:

• The Mobile Farm
• Fantastic Science
• Theatre Groups
• Religious Groups
• Students from local secondary schools
• TfL
• The Fire Service and Police Service

We also ensure every Harris Primary Academy Orpington student has a residential trip experience each year. In 2018-2019 the Year 6 pupils are going on a PGL adventure residential. In 2019-20 our new Year 6 pupils will be working as farmers for a week on Treginnis Farm (Farms for City Children) which is part of Michael Morpurgo's charitable group of farms.
