At the end of the second year of City Year's volunteer mentors in partnership with Harrow High the team has much to celebrate. Over 1800 hours have been devoted to mentoring, clubs, in-class support and to delivering maths and literacy initiatives.Feedback from staff and learners has been excellent.Virtually every learner undertaking the initiatives has improved and many have graduated from the programmes. 

The attendance, behaviour and attainment levels of the learners being mentored have improved as well as their self-management, independence and self-awareness. Learners have enjoyed clubs such as cricket, volleyball, art, debating and a highly acclaimed Brilliant Club in Sociology for Year 8. 

The team has gained considerable experience in leadership and creativity. One of the team, Shai, has been appointed to the Civil Service in Barbados based on his work at Harrow High. Our grateful thanks to Ebun, Elize, Hannah, Mann and Shai for their first class caring and devoted  volunteering. They will be much missed by their learners. We wish them every success in the future.

On a beautiful sunny day in July, learners got to enjoy a break from the classroom. An opportunity for learners to experience the culture and scenery that Brighton has to offer.

Visiting the famous Brighton Pier, learners walking along the wooden planks. There were a range of activities and attractions. Some learners headed straight for the thrilling rides, while others indulged in ice cream.

Of course, no trip to Brighton would be complete without some time spent on the beach. The pebbled shore provided a perfect spot for students to unwind and enjoy the sun.

Our trip to Brighton was a memorable blend of education, adventure, and fun.

Our learners recently embarked on an adventure with clueQuest, where their problem-solving and teamwork skills were pushed to the limit. With just 4 seconds left on the clock, they made a thrilling escape from the room!

A big thank you to St John's College Access & Outreach for making this unforgettable experience possible for our learners! Your support continues to inspire and enable these incredible learning opportunities.

On Monday, 8th July, Harrow High School sent four exceptional Year 7 learners on a special visit to St Jerome Bilingual School. Representing Harrow High were:

• Mohammad (7 Cambridge)

• Ana (7 Cambridge)

• Jenna (7 Kings)

• Zanam (7 UCL)

On this visit, our learners acted as ambassadors and spoke to Year 6 learners about the transition from Year 6 into Year 7, with special focus on languages, and how having learnt French during primary will help them when learning Spanish and Italian in Year 7 in our school, as some of them will be joining us in September.

During their visit, our learners prepared and delivered an impressive presentation, showcasing their communication skills and the confidence they have developed. They engaged with two different Year 6 classrooms, answering questions and providing tips and encouragement to the younger students, some of whom will be joining Harrow High in September.

They made our school, and especially our MFL department, very very proud!!!

We are delighted to share the remarkable achievement of our KS3 learners who have been dedicated participants in the Sparx Reader leader board competition throughout the year.

Their hard work and enthusiasm for reading have earned them a well-deserved trip to the Warner Bros. Studio in Watford!

Throughout the academic year, our learners have engaged with a wide range of books, not only enhancing their reading skills but also fuelling their imaginations.

Their commitment to literacy and learning has been commendable, placing them consistently among the top 20 in the Sparx Reader leaderboard. The highlight of their achievement was their recent visit to the Warner Bros. Studio, where they immersed themselves in the magical world of filmmaking.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our KS3 learners for their dedication and success in the Sparx Reader competition. Our learner’s enthusiasm for reading and learning serves as an inspiration to us all.

Special thanks to the teachers and staff who have supported and encouraged our learners throughout this journey. Your guidance has played a crucial role in nurturing their love for reading and helping them achieve this milestone.

The holidays are an ideal time to replenish any uniform items your child has out grown or lost. When the new academic year starts, all children will be expected to wear the Harrow High School white polo shirt when they return to school in September. 

The white polo shirt 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.

Please also note the following minor changes to the school uniform which have been introduced to help reduce costs for our families:

• blazers will not longer be required but can be worn until outgrown.

• the Harrow High School navy v-neck pullover will be compulsory all year round

• shirts/blouses and ties will be replaced with the Harrow High School white polo shirt. This will be compulsory school wear and is to be worn all year round

• the navy Harrow High PE t-shirt will be replaced by a cheaper white/navy sport shirt. This will be compulsory though the navy PE t-shirt can be worn until outgrown.

• only inexpensive plain navy or black school coats without any brands are allowed

All other items of school uniform remain the same. 

Maintaining good attendance is a critical factor in your child's academic success and personal development. Consistent attendance ensures they receive the full benefit of what we offer at Harrow High and will help your child build essential skills for the future. Attending school every day is directly linked to academic performance. Missing school can lead to gaps in knowledge, making it difficult for your child to keep up with their school work.

We kindly request your support in ensuring your child's consistent attendance and punctuality. If your child is ill or has a valid reason for missing school, please notify the school as soon as possible. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, however we will work with you to provide support when needed. 

Also note, from September 2024, local authority fines for any unauthorised absences will increase. Both parents will be fined. All children are expected to be in school during term time. No requests for holidays, weddings or visits to relatives will be authorised unless there are exceptional circumstances. Evidence support this will be required.
