  • Windrush Day

    Published 21/06/21

    Harrow High School Academy is committed to ensuring inclusion and diversity for all in our school community. 

    To support this we will be celebrating Windrush Day.  The 22nd June 2021  marks the 73rd anniversary of the arrival of the ship Empire Windrush at Tilbury Dock, Essex from Kingston Jamaica; the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the UK. The 802 Caribbean citizens on board were the first of 500,000 Commonwealth citizens who settled in Britain between 1948 and 1971. They were invited to live as British citizens and help rebuild the "mother country" filling post-war labour shortages across a myriad of industries. This year we will celebrate how the Windrush generation played a crucial part in making Britain 'Great' again! 

    Learners will have an assembly on Monday to start the celebrations, and KS3 learners will also cover Windrush across English, Geography, Art, and Music, highlighting how this generation influenced and impacted the UK's cultural landscape.

    The music this week will cover a range of diverse musical genres that originate from the Caribbean, such as reggae, ska and calypso. The hall and the canteen will be decorated with the flags of Caribbean countries and a special lunch menu has been designed around Caribbean cuisine. 

    Educating our learners about The Windrush will help develop their knowledge of world geography and history and improve their social and cultural understanding of how Caribbean migrants contributed and helped shape the wonderful multi-racial communities of 21st century Britain

  • Pride Month at Harrow High

    Published 11/06/21

    At Harrow High we are committed to ensuring inclusion and diversity for all in our school community, and will be celebrating Pride Month for the first time in an effort to raise awareness against homophobia and educate learners on LGBTQ+ History. Our weekly registration activities have been tailored to develop a deeper understanding, acceptance, respect and kindness towards the LGBTQ+ community. 

    We have also been working around this year’s Pride theme of “Visibility, Unity and Equality” to offer a multi-sensory experience to our staff and learners. 

    Learners will have an assembly on Monday to start the celebrations and Votes For School are marking School Diversity Week with a topic that will focus on self-expression. 

    The hall and the canteen will bear all the colours of the rainbow and a selfie wall will be available for those who want to “Say Pride” and tag our school account on our social media platforms. 

    On Tuesday 15th June a special Pride Lunch menu will be available in the canteen which has been designed around LGBTQ+ icons (people who have inspired and supported the LGBTQ+ community). You’ll have to channel your inner Alan Turing in order to decipher the items on the menu and identify all the celebrities correctly. 

    What would a Pride Month celebration be without the music? Our corridors will come alive this month with a playlist of the best instrumental versions of LGBTQ+ anthems.

    Harrow High School wishes you a happy Pride month, whoever you are and whoever you love

  • Learner of the Term

    Published 01/04/21

    Learner of the Term celebrates the efforts of learners who have demonstrated outstanding behaviour, achievement, attendance and support of the school and its values. 

    We congratulation the follows learners you have been nominated by their tutor and chosen by their Standards and Achievement Leader for Learner of the Spring Term.

    Vihan KelKar (Y7)

    It has been an incredibly challenging term but Vihan has managed to thrive during this time.

    Over the course of the term, Vihan has become an important role model for other learners in the year group: his attendance and punctuality are superb, he is focused and engaged in all lessons and actively looks to help and support others where he can. Despite arriving later in the school year, he has already managed to obtain a silver badge and well on the way to achieving gold next term. This term, he was elected a Learner Voice prefect, demonstrating that he is a valued and well-respected member of his form and keen to participate in helping to improve the wider school community.

    Vihan has also excelled academically this term. Despite the difficulties posed by remote learning, he continued to demonstrate an unrelenting commitment and enthusiasm for his studies and has made excellent progress during this time. On return to school, he has maintained this level of focus which has had a positive impact on the rest of the class. Vihan’s active participation in class is particularly noteworthy. He has a very inquisitive nature and often offers thought-provoking contributions, often leading to insightful discussions through which learners (and teachers!) are able to learn and progress. This term, he also became a member of the ‘Brilliant Club’ and is keen to share his experiences of this with other members in his form.

    We would like to congratulate Vihan on all his efforts over the course of this term and wish him  all the best for the Summer term ahead.

    Mifrah Mohammed  Mushtaq (Y8)
     
    Mifrah is a clear example  of her commitment to the  Harrow High School Excellences.

    She always goes above and beyond in every subject, completing all her work to the best of her ability and asking for more challenging resources and tasks when she finishes the work set. Her attendance and behaviour are impeccable across the board.

    Mifrah has shown to have spectacular organisational skills and a teamwork ethos, especially during lock-down when she managed to organise not only her team but the whole class to create a newspaper. She takes initiative and always tries to find a solution to every little obstacle that might arise on a daily basis, making her a very active voice in form time and also in her lessons.

    Mifrah is kind, caring and is always willing to help her peers, particularly when she senses someone might be struggling and afraid of asking for help. 

    Well done Mifrah!

    Andreea Cucer (Y9)

    Andreea has done exceptionally well and her teachers are extremely pleased with her efforts during this term The Harrow High's excellences are evident in all Andreea’s efforts with  outstanding attendance to lessons and her excellent contributions to the School community.
