20 September 2018BBC Radio 1xtra visit Harris Academy Peckham as part of their #inspireMe tourOver 300 students in Years 9, 10 and 11 came together to be inspired by a panel of guests talking about their life experiences and how they have got to where they are. Hosted by Reece Parkinson, the guest panel of Nadia Rose, David Whitely (AKA Sidemanallday) and Kelechi Okafor talked about their proudest achievements, who inspired them and what they would say to their 14 year old selves. The energy in the room was fantastic, as the panel engaged with the students by speaking plainly and truthfully about their lives. We even got a world exclusive from Nadia, who told us that she has been writing for Rihanna!! The was an opportunity for students to ask questions and to share their own proudest moments, which was really special. The session ended with some impromptu student performances , with Toni in Year 9 rapping while Nadia Rose provided the beats! Reece and the panel stayed behind after to meet the students, have some photos and sign autographs. A truly memorable experience for the students, and one with an important and inspiring message – work hard, set a goal and be true to yourself. Hannah Year 11 and Ms Rogers Senior Head of Department Music

14 September 2018Star GB athlete Adam Gemili put the students of Harris Academy Peckham through their paces!Great Britain Sprinter Adam Gemili visited the students and staff at Harris Academy Peckham on Thursday 13th September. He gave a highly motivating and inspiring talk to students in an Assembly before putting them through their paces on the track. There is so much sporting talent amongst the students at the Academy and Adam has really inspired them to believe that they too, can be world class athletes or sports stars. He started his career as a footballer but decided to switch to athletics so he could also focus upon his education. Within a year of training as an athlete at University he became the World Junior Champion and he hasn’t looked back since. Over the last few years Adam has beaten some of the best Sprinters in the world and has won an array of medals. Last year he was part of the GB 4 X100m relay team who beat the American and Jamaican teams to be crowned World Champions and more recently the same squad won gold again European Champions. Adam’s achievements have truly inspired and motivated Harris Academy Peckham students. They now know that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. Today is a day for the memory books! Watch this space for our athletes of the future!
