We have been informed some parents have received an email stating: ‘As schools will be closing, if you're entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we'll make sure you're supported’. This is a scam email - do not respond, and delete immediately. https://t.co/r6cJP28dyY

  • Local museums
  • Local theatres
  • Garden Centres
  • The O2
  • The London Eye

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.
