Enrichment & Extension Programme

Our Enrichment and Extension activities not only give students the chance to further develop their skills learnt in lessons but allows them to try new activities not typically taught in the curriculum. 

Here at Harris Academy Purley we value every opportunity to extend the learning for our students. Activities run before school, during lunch and after school, every day.


Clubs

Clubs are an important strand in the Academy's wider curriculum. Students have access to a variety of clubs before, during and after school. A list of the clubs currently running can be viewed at the bottom of this page.


Extra-Curricular Sport

We offer a range of extra-curricular sports clubs that are open to all year groups. These clubs meet for weekly training sessions and regularly play competitive matches against local schools. 

Please see our Sports at Purley for further information about our facilities and sports clubs.

Through a DofE programme young people have fun, make friends, improve their self-esteem and build confidence. They gain essential skills and attributes for work and life such as resilience, problem-solving, team-working, communication and drive, enhancing CVs and uni and job applications. Top employers recognise the work-ready skills Award holders bring to their business.

We recently finished our Bronze Expedition with a group of students around Epsom Downs. During this expedition, student had to rely on the orienteering skills they had developed through our practise sessions to reach designated points throughout the day. They also had to erect their tent and prepare a meal in the evening.
