The Year 11 Geography fieldwork trip to Stratford, East London was a great success. Students displayed exemplary behaviour throughout the day, representing Harrow High School with maturity and enthusiasm. Their positive attitude and respect for both staff and the public created an excellent impression and ensured the day ran smoothly.

Learners took part in a range of urban regeneration investigations, collecting primary data on land use, environmental quality, and perceptions of redevelopment around the Olympic Park. A particular highlight was the way students conducted interviews with members of the public, showing confidence, politeness, and professionalism. They gathered thoughtful and detailed responses, which will significantly enrich their data and analysis.

Throughout the day, students demonstrated excellent engagement with the fieldwork process — asking insightful questions, applying classroom knowledge, and showing genuine curiosity about how regeneration has transformed Stratford. The quality of data collected was fantastic and will provide a strong foundation for their Paper 3 (Geographical Applications) examination in summer 2026.

Overall, the trip highlighted the maturity and high levels of engagement of our GCSE Geography cohort. Their conduct and commitment were a credit to both themselves and the school.

Learners attended the New Scientists Live STEM trip, enjoying a talk on memory retention and visiting stands from universities and employers across fields like agriculture, quantum computing, medical research, and space technologies. They had the chance to meet professionals and learn about a wide range of STEM careers.
