On 29th January, we had the privilege of welcoming Vera Bernstein, who shared her family’s powerful story of survival during the Holocaust. Vera spoke about her parents’ incredible resilience—her family had to climb mountains and hide in bunkers to survive. Vera also shared the heartbreaking loss of her grandfather and her aunt, who tragically lost her life in a gas chamber at just 20 years old.

Our learners have been studying the events before and after the Holocaust, including the experiences of figures like Anne Frank. Vera’s visit added a personal and emotional layer to their understanding, offering a unique perspective on the hardships many families faced during this dark chapter in history.

Vera’s visit was a powerful reminder for our learners of the importance of empathy, tolerance, and remembering the past. We are grateful to Vera for sharing her story with us.

Last week, we took part in Children’s Mental Health Week 2025, a week dedicated to raising awareness and promoting the mental well-being of all learners. Throughout the week, we provided a wide selection of self-help books in the school library, designed to encourage learners to explore and better understand their mental health. 📚 These books remain available in the library for any learner who would like to read them and continue their journey toward mental well-being.

The holidays are an ideal time to replenish any uniform items your child has out grown or lost. All children are expected to wear the complete Harrow High School. 

White polo shirt and navy jumpers must have the school logo. They are available from Pullens, 48-50 Church Road, Stanmore, HA7 4AH. You can also order them online at www.uniform4kids.com but please order early to allow time for delivery.

In cold weather children should be wearing coats. We ask that they are of a dark colour (preferably navy or black) with some fluorescent strips. No coat should be obviously branded. For additional warmth, children are allowed to wear base-layers in white, navy or black underneath their uniform. Woollen hats, scarves and gloves are permitted, once again in dark colours.  Girls can wear either skirts or trousers. Skirts must be between the knee and ankle.

Please make sure that all uniform items are clearly labelled with your child's name.
