Year 11 learners celebrated the end of their GCSEs and their time at Harrow High School with a fantastic Prom evening. With music, dancing and fun "Most Likely To..." awards, the event was a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories and celebrate their achievements.

We wish all our learners every success in the next stage of their journey.

Our History learners recently took part in an educational visit to France, bringing their classroom learning to life by exploring key First World War sites, including Vimy Ridge, Lochnagar Crater, Newfoundland Memorial Park, the Thiepval Memorial and Visitor Centre, and the Ulster Tower Memorial. Learners reflected on the sacrifices made during the war while developing a deeper understanding of the events they study in History. The trip also gave learners the opportunity to experience French culture and enjoy time at Fort-Mahon-Plage, creating lasting memories beyond the classroom.

Our Year 8 learners enjoyed an inspiring visit to the Tate Modern, where they explored a wide range of contemporary artworks by renowned artists. The trip encouraged learners to analyse different artistic styles, techniques and themes while developing their creativity and appreciation of modern art. Visiting one of the UK's leading galleries gave learners the opportunity to experience art beyond the classroom and gain inspiration for their own creative work. 

Year 8 learners enjoyed an inspiring aspiration trip to London Zoo, where they explored a wide range of exhibits and saw animals from across the globe. The visit helped broaden their understanding of wildlife and conservation, while also encouraging curiosity and ambition about future careers linked to science, zoology and environmental studies. It was a fantastic day that combined learning with the opportunity to enjoy time with friends.

Our Letter Together Pen Pal Club has been a valued part of Harrow High School's co-curricular programme for the past three years and is looking forward to continuing into its fourth year.

Led by Ms Ortega, the club gives learners the opportunity to exchange letters with students of a similar age at IES Tamujal in Badajoz, Spain. Through their letters, learners develop their language skills, gain an insight into Spanish culture and everyday life, and build meaningful international connections.

A fantastic opportunity to bring language learning beyond the classroom and celebrate cultural exchange. 🌍✍️

Our Year 12 learners completed UCAS Week, taking part in a series of workshops focused on personal statements, UCAS applications and interview skills. The week concluded with mock interviews, giving learners the opportunity to apply what they had learned in a realistic setting.

It was a valuable experience that helped build confidence, strengthen applications, and support learners as they begin making informed decisions about their next steps into higher education.

This outstanding project was created as part of the GCSE History topic Opposition and Conformity in Nazi Germany. Students were challenged to present their understanding of the topic in a creative and engaging way, and these learners went far beyond the original brief.

The model uses a church as its central focus, with the two sides representing the different responses of religious groups and individuals to Nazi rule: those who conformed to and supported the Nazis, and those who chose to oppose them. Through this visual contrast, the project effectively demonstrates the divisions that existed within German society during the Nazi period.

The display includes authentic-style Nazi propaganda, representations of the Church, members of the public, and references to the sermons and writings of Pastor Martin Niemöller. Niemöller became a prominent critic of Nazi interference in the Church and was eventually imprisoned in a concentration camp for his opposition. His famous words, “First they came…”, are included to highlight the consequences of remaining silent in the face of persecution.

The attention to detail, historical understanding, and creativity shown in this piece are exceptional. The students have successfully combined historical knowledge with artistic design to create a powerful representation of conformity, resistance, and moral choice in Nazi Germany.

This is an impressive piece of work that deserves huge credit for both its ambition and execution.
