The Wider Curriculum
The ‘wider curriculum’ refers to students’ experience of learning beyond the classroom. At Harris Academy Chobham, the wider curriculum encompasses the huge array of extra-curricular activities in which all students participate.
These include but are not limited to:
- enrichment activities and clubs
- house events and interhouse sport competitions
- sports fixtures
- trips and activities days
- celebration days such as our Eid celebration day, Black History Month, International Women’s Day, and World Book Day
- careers events and drop-down days, including our annual World of Work Day and Year 10 work experience
- performing arts productions and showcases
- mentoring programmes with external providers such as BADU sport, Kinetic, Kicks and Act Up
- Chobham Experience, Harris Experience and Harris Experience Advanced programmes for our More Able students, including the Brilliant Club’s Scholar Programme

Our wider curriculum supports us in our mission to give our young people a truly enriched education and childhood, so that they can go into the world with the skills and confidence to be the best that they can be.
