We offer a supportive environment in which professional and pedagogical development is at the heart of what we do and in which teacher workload is managed very effectively through sensible loadings, centralised planning and whole class feedback. At the same time we expect the highest standards from everyone and as a result, outcomes for young people are excellent and continue to improve (Progress 8 in 2024 was +0.62)
“The school is a positive environment for learning. Pupils’ behaviour is sensible in lessons and around the school” OFSTED 2023
We have the highest aspirations and expectations for young people. This means that university progression rates are excellent, there are lots of extra curricular activities and a full programme of school excursions. At the same time, behaviour in lessons and around the school is consistently excellent. Teachers can look forward to working with engaged, motivated, sensible classes and doing what they do best.
“Pupils with SEND and those who speak English as an additional language are well-supported." OFSTED 2023
Harrow High is a diverse and inclusive school; our learners come from a wide range of backgrounds and have a wide range of prior ability. We have the highest aspirations for them all and when working here, staff make a difference every day.
