School Uniform
School Uniform
Now that the weather is colder and the nights darker please make sure that your child has a warm winter coat. 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.
All children are expected to wear the complete Harrow High School, which includes the navy v-neck jumper for everyday and the navy tracksuit top for PE. Childen should not wear their navy v-neck jumper with their PE kit.
Those that do will be asked to correct it. Please contact the school office if you need assistance. We can provide 'preloved' jumpers and tracksuit tops.
Uniform is 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 make sure that all uniform items are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Year 9 Learners Discover the ‘Floating City’ Aboard HMS Belfast
Year 9 learners recently enjoyed a brilliant history trip to HMS Belfast. They explored key areas of the ship, including the engine rooms, the bridge, the operations rooms, the sailors’ mess decks, the sick bay, and the huge gun turrets. Seeing these real spaces helped them understand how sailors lived and worked during the Second World War and the Korean War.

MedSoc Learners Attend Cancer Biology Lecture Series
MedSoc Learners Attend Cancer Biology Lecture Series
Our MedSoc learners recently had the opportunity to attend the third session of a Cancer Biology Supercurricular Lecture Series at Harrow School. The lecture focused on the Cell Cycle and the role of cyclins in regulating this vital process.
It was a particularly proud moment for the school community, as we reflected on a former pupil who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine in 2001 for work on this very topic.
We extend our thanks to the organisers and hosts for providing our learners with such an inspiring and educational experience.

Supporting Independent Learning During the Christmas Break
Supporting Independent Learning During the Christmas Break
As we look ahead to the upcoming Christmas holiday break, we are writing to you to outline the school’s strategy for independent learning. Our goal is to ensure students maintain academic momentum and minimize the risk of learning loss over the extended period away from school.
Consistency and continuity are vital, particularly for students preparing for crucial external examinations. We believe a structured approach to independent study during the break provides valuable structure for families and reinforces classroom learning.
A Note on Teacher Monitoring
While our teachers will be setting this work, please be advised that they will not be monitoring or marking work during the holiday break. The primary purpose of this work is to maintain consistency, structure the break, and prepare for the new term. Formal marking and feedback will commence upon the students' return in January.
Mr K. Patel
Deputy Headteacher
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in supporting your child’s academic commitment. We wish you a peaceful and enjoyable festive season.

Heads Up, Phones Down!
We kindly remind all learners to stay alert and keep their phones away when crossing roads near the school. Even a momentary distraction can be dangerous, so we encourage everyone to look up, listen, and be aware of traffic. By practicing this simple habit, our learners can stay safe and set a great example for others in the community.
