Harris Experience

The Harris Experience is a programme for the most able secondary school students across the Harris Federation. It broadens students’ cultural and academic experiences to give them outstanding preparation for some of the country’s top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.

It is aimed at years 9 – 11 with the programme spanning over the three years for each cohort. It consists of a range for bespoke classes within the Academy, taking students beyond the curriculum and aiming to develop further their ability to think independently and critically.

Students are also exposed to a wide range of cultural experiences including special events at Christie’s auctioneers, visits to the Royal Opera House, science events at Imperial College and bespoke lectures at the University of Oxford. Find out more about the Harris Experience.
