We are delighted that we have reached the end of the testing process with every learner who has been given permission receiving up to 3 tests, depending on attendance. We are pleased to confirm that no-one tested positive. We would also like to thank all our families for their support with this.
The government has now directed that parents should test learners for Covid at home twice weekly until the Easter holidays. We will be sending your son/daughter home today equipped with a self-testing kit which contains 3 tests. We ask that you undertake these tests on Sunday evening, 21st March, Wednesday evening, 24th March and Sunday evening 28th March. If each test result is negative no further action is required. You must inform us if your son/daughter tests positive and must arrange for a confirmatory PCR test and self-isolate as per government guidelines.
We have put together a short video to help you with the testing process
Congratulations to Weronika (Y11) who has been nominated the Jack Petchey award for January, after having been voted for by her classmates and teachers alike.
Teachers in particular praised her consistent work ethic, steady, positive attitude, and her wonderful humanity.
This award is well-deserved as Weronika has long been an excellent contributor to the Harrow High community. In Y11, she has been particularly dedicated, and met a small group of classmates after school once a week to tutor them in Computer Science. During lock-down, she has gone the extra mile every week and kept an excellent spirit during remote learning, always the one to share knowledge and encourage others.
Well done and keep up the good work.

Well done to all our leaners and staff on our first day of learning from home, for the whole school. Feedback from students, staff, and parents has been very good, and attendance has been excellent. As we now know that we will be working this way until at least February half term. We are extremely proud of the whole community for making it such a success.
