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.
