Recent Updates & Events

School Term is well underway and we have really enjoyed walking around our corridors and classrooms welcoming back all of our learners who were here last year and saying hello to our new Year 7’s. We would like to take this early opportunity to say a big welcome back to all of our parents and carers and to thank them in advance for another year of well received support for the school.

As you will be aware, one of our school beliefs is excellent communication. Specifically, we strive for ‘good understanding of each other’ and ‘clarity of purpose’ in all our messaging. We had great feedback from so many of you last year in this area, especially around our online learning and support for learners and families. To that end, we will be carrying on with our half-termly catch-up calls from your child's tutor with the aim of ensuring you are happy with your child's experience. Please do tell us what is going well and if you do have any issues, please do raise them and we will address them.

We strive to be open and approachable at all times. To this end, if you wish to inform us of something or to speak to a teacher/Head of Year/School Leader, please use the contact form on the website and someone will respond to you via email or phone as soon as we can. If the matter is urgent or concerns the safety of any child, please phone the school, speak to our receptionist and let us know that it is a safeguarding matter.

Other important sources of information are, of course, our website; www.harrowhigh.com and Twitter feed @HarrowHighSch. Please keep your eyes on these for important messages and news about what we are up to.

We will also make contact with you via email, either for matters specific to your child, their year group or even the whole school so please ensure we have the correct details for this. You can update your contact details, including email address via the SIMS in touch app. This also contains other information about your child’s schooling including details of achievement and attendance. If you don’t currently use this, a guide for how to get involved is available here.

For further information or if you would like help downloading the App please contact Mr Yazdizad, IT Manager at a.yazdizad@harrowhigh.com

Finally, the school will be producing a bi-weekly newsletter with details of whole school matters and upcoming events in each year group. This will come to you via email and will be available to download via the school website so please do read this carefully.

Harrow High School would like to congratulate all of our learners on yet another excellent set of GCSE results. Yet again, we are so very proud of the fantastic efforts of all our learners and the excellent work of all our staff who have all shown immense skill and dedication over the difficult past two years.  

Paul Gamble, the headteacher said;

“These excellent results are a reflection of how well our learners and teachers have adapted during the unprecedented two years and the levels of commitment they have demonstrated. We are incredibly proud of them all. I would also like to thank our fantastic community of parents for their unwavering support for the school and their children which has been vital during the enforced periods of live online learning.”

We are looking forward to welcoming so many of them back into the Sixth Form in September and we would like to wish the remainder all the best for their future studies and careers. Please stay in touch.

A-Level & Level 3 BTEC Results Day 2021

Harrow High School is pleased to announce that Year 13 learners have today achieved fantastic outcomes in their A-Level, and Level 3 BTEC qualifications, which will allow them all to progress to a range of universities of their choice such as Cambridge, UCL, Kings, Manchester, and Liverpool. 

Paul Gamble, Headteacher commented "We are delighted with our results and are so proud of how hard learners have worked over the last 2 years to achieve such excellent outcomes, especially with the challenges of school closure, remote learning, and formal exams not being held. Despite all the uncertainties, Sixth Form learners at Harrow High continued to do exceptionally well and today will be celebrating some exceptional results. These results are the culmination of years of hard work, over many years and are thoroughly well deserved." 

Kevin Patel, Head of Sixth Form, said he was “delighted with the results. This group of young people showed dedication and determination throughout their studies and they are now reaping the rewards. They have been supported by an incredibly talented team of teaching and support staff whose efforts are clear to see. We are a small sixth form where teachers know learners really well, meaning they get the individual support they need to achieve excellent outcomes.” He added “100% of our Sixth Form learners have made successful applications to universities across the country and these results will ensure they are all able to take up these places. I am so proud of every single one of them.”
