  • September Art Exhibition Opening Night Invitation

    Thu 04 Sep 2025

    Our Art Department have organised an interschool art exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery, bringing together a range of student artwork from Harris and nine other schools across Rugby. 

     

    The opening night will be held on Tuesday 9th September from 4.00–5.00pm in the Floor One Gallery at Rugby Library (opposite Asda in town). It would be lovely if you could join us to support our students and their families, as well as visitors from the other schools. 

     

    If you can’t make the opening, the exhibition will continue to run until Thursday 19th September, so there will be plenty of time to drop in and enjoy the work on display.

  • Harris students help smash Guinness World Record

    Wed 16 Jul 2025

    20 of our Year 7 students took part in Jamie Oliver’s Biggest Cooking Lesson world record attempt on 1 July — and what a fantastic experience it was!

     

    During the event, students worked brilliantly to prepare a delicious pasta dish within an hour, following along with Jamie Oliver’s live cooking lesson. Their enthusiasm, focus, and teamwork were a joy to see, and they should all feel very proud of what they achieved.

     

    It was a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved, and we’re thrilled that our students were part of such a special, global event. A big well done to all of them for their excellent effort and positive attitude throughout.

     

    The Guinness World Records title was broken with 10,515 cooks, across 6 continents and 42 countries.
