11 December 2019'Concert for Winter' at Shakespeare's GlobeOur students made a fabulous impression when they took part in the 'Concert for Winter' at Shakespeare's Globe recently. Concert for Winter is an annual showcase which invites Southwark nurseries, schools and community groups to perform a song or poem on stage in celebration of the past, present and future of the borough. "It was such a pleasure to have your students performing," said Emma Woodhouse, Learning Projects Coordinator, at the theatre. "Stand By Me was such a brilliant song choice – it was lovely to see the audience all waving along as you sang - we have all been singing it in the office ever since! The children were so well behaved and were all a real credit to their schools." Congratulations to all our students who sung so wonderfully and represented our school so well. Pictures: Pete Le May

9 December 2019Girls Excel in 'Project Rugby' TournamentStudents at HAP had a fantastic morning at Old Colfeians RFC for Project Rugby, organised by the (Territorial Support Group) TSG of the Metropolitan Police. They came 3rd in the competition and were the only all-female side. The coach from Harlequins rugby club commented on how determined our students were and said there was great talent in the side. She was so impressed that she chose to coach our students throughout the tournament! Over the last few weeks, students have been taking part in Project Rugby, which is organised by the Met Police and Harlequins Rugby Club to help thousands of schoolchildren interact with local police. The tournament brought together all the schools, students and parents from south London that have taken part in the project. A huge well done to all our rugby players! Ms L Clifford, Vice Principal
6 December 2019Celebrating the Periodic Table with the Royal Society of ChemistryPeckham students attended an event organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Institution recently, to celebrate International Year of the Periodic Table. Over 200 students and guests from different schools took part in the event which included an entertaining lecture by Professor Saiful Islam on energy materials, including batteries and perovskites, as well chemistry’s crucial contribution to the fight against the climate emergency. The event also included exhibition stands, experiments and explanations from a dozen university and industry groups and companies, demonstrating the diversity and wealth of chemistry careers to a younger audience. “It’s said that women aren’t really interested in some subjects, so I wanted to check out what it was really about," says Hani, who attended the lecture with four of her classmates. "Today’s talk was actually really good – I thought that chemistry people were just in labs, so Saiful said he does computer modelling, I didn’t know chemistry could do that, which is actually really interesting and I found it really helpful. I can see chemistry in a different way – instead of just lessons and doing practicals.” Picture (Above): Mr Nnabugwu, Senior Head of Department Science, with HAP students at the Royal Society of Chemistry event.

6 December 2019Cherif Gains Oxford College Place to Study PhysicsWe are very proud of former Harris Academy Peckham student, Cherif (pictured), who won a place to study Physics at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, as part of the college's foundation year pre-entry scheme. Cherif says he is interested in teaching and might one day like to teach back in Peckham. As a sixth former he set up a tutoring company for GCSE students, so teaching is clearly in his blood! The Oxford college's pre-entry scheme sees students from under-represented background being offered a place for one year before very likely, but not necessarily, being offered a place for the rest of the course. We are delighted for Cherif and everyone at Harris Academy Peckham wishes him success with his future studies. Read an article from The Times about Harris Federation students, including Cherif, who are now studying at Oxford and Cambridge. Cherif is pictured top right below.
