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.

- Garden Centres

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.
