Our Enrichment Programme

Our Curriculum Philosophy

At Harris Academy Ockendon, we believe that every child deserves access to a rich and ambitious curriculum, one that empowers them with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to thrive both academically and personally. Our curriculum is carefully designed to ensure that all students master the powerful knowledge required not only to succeed in public examinations, but also to engage meaningfully with the world around them.

We are committed to developing confident, curious, and independent learners who are well-prepared for the next stage in their education or career, and who are equipped to lead happy, fulfilled, and successful lives. Through our curriculum, we nurture a lifelong love of learning, while also fostering resilience, integrity, and a strong sense of personal responsibility.

Enrichment and Personal Development

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide variety of enrichment opportunities to inspire and develop the whole child. These experiences are embedded within our curriculum offer and provide students with the chance to explore new interests, develop leadership skills, and make a positive impact in their community.

Our enrichment programme includes activities such as clubs, educational visits, guest speakers, workshops, and community projects, all designed to complement academic learning and broaden students' horizons. Full details of the enrichment opportunities available for each year group can be found in the curriculum maps located in the website menu.

At Harris Academy Ockendon, we are proud to offer a curriculum that opens doors, raises aspirations, and helps every student become the best version of themselves.
