Foreword from the Headteacher

Choosing a place in which to learn is an important decision. Our website is designed as a glimpse into the unique ethos that makes Harrow High School and Sports College an exciting and welcoming school. The climate for learning underpins the academic success of our young people of whom we are immensely proud.

We are passionate about learning and the success of all the young people we work with. The curriculum is innovative, inspiring and motivating. It aims to personalise education for each young person closely tailoring it to his or her needs, interests and aspirations. Our specialist status as a Sports College, with Science as a second specialist subject, and our resently accredited 'outstanding Ofsted' enables us to enhance learners’ personal development and well-being.

We understand that life at Harrow High School and Sports College should fully prepare learners for a range of educational and employment opportunities whilst nurturing a passion for life-long learning. Our sixth form demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest quality progression for our learners.

Having the advantage of excellent facilities coupled with the commitment of a dedicated, highly skilled and effective staff team, we provide an education that is both inclusive, stimulating and challenging.  Future changes in the education system, School Reoorganisation, mean that we will be welcoming Year 6 to Harrow High in 2010.  The transition from Year 6 into Year 7 incorporates all of this into a unique programme of activity designed to ensure all learners quickly settle and begin enjoying and achieving.

We have high expectations of all members of our community of learning and believe that working in partnership with parents guarantees the success of each individual. Your views matter to us. Ours is a very caring school. It is small enough so that each young person is known as an individual yet able to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that provides stretch, pace and challenge.
