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.
