One of Harris Academy Peckham's unique selling points are our trips. These provide students with wonderful experiences to enhance their cultural capital and to connect their understanding to the real world and work related learning. Read about some of our recent trips in our latest news pages.

Classical instruments and tuition for free

Every student in Years 7, 8 and 9 is entitled to free instrumental lessons on instruments including violin, flute, trumpet and piano, through our fantastic music department, offered with the support of Music in Secondary Schools Trust. This could lead to students playing musical instruments at GCSE.

Students also have the opportunity to showcase their talents, performing at prestigious venues such as the Drury Lane Theatre, Roundhouse and The Queen Elizabeth Hall.
