Recruitment

Would you want to work in a school where 100% of staff would recommend working here to a friend and where all our Early Career Teachers told OFSTED ‘they never feel overwhelmed by the job’?

We offer a supportive environment in which professional and pedagogical development is at the heart of what we do and in which teacher's 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).

 

 

Why would you choose to work at Harrow High School?

  • We are in a fantastic location for transport links which means staff have the opportunity to live all over London as well as the commuter belt still with realistic travel times plus more than ample staff parking so parking every morning is never a worry.

  • We are committed to a constant programme of teacher development based on a comprehensive and exciting programme of CPD including a commitment to provide coaching for all staff to help them hone their practice. 

  • We believe strongly in a work life balance and know that enjoying your work is the most important part of well-being. This is of the highest importance to us. 

  • We set aside time every week for dedicated joint faculty lesson planning, and have implemented an assessment policy that meets the needs of learners whilst being sensitive to the time demands faced by staff. 

  • We offer flexible working practices where possible and a well-being day for all staff as well as an individual wellbeing day to be taken as and when wanted. 

  • We have a culture of approachability from the management means support, support, support is key to issues both in and out of school life.

We have exceptionally high expectations of all our learners in all that they do and believe that disadvantage or low prior attainment should not act as a  barrier to success. We are committed to our ‘4 excellences’ which are at the heart of everything we do and every conversation we have. These are;

  • Excellent Learning & Progress

         Challenge and engagement, meeting and exceeding targets

  • Excellent Aspirations

           Quality progression, passion for learning

  •  Excellent Behaviour, Safety and Care for each other

           Respectful challenge, showing empathy

  •  Excellent Communication

           Understanding each other, clarity of purpose

As a result of our commitment to these beliefs, the school is continually improving and as a result, Progress 8 is consistently good. The Sixth Form is also incredibly successful and for the past 3 years have achieved ALPS grades of 2 (top 10% nationally) for A Levels and BTEC courses
