Recent Updates & Events

As you will all be aware, the England Football Team will be playing Italy in the Final of the European Championships on Sunday 11th July at 8pm. With the prospect of extra time and (gulp..) penalties, this may finish very late.

In order to allow learners and staff to enjoy the game, the school will open an hour later on Monday morning. 

School gates will open at 9.30am, learners should be on site by 9.45am latest and registration will commence at 9.50am.

For parents/carers who need to send their children to school at normal time, supervision will be available in the playground and canteen from 8.30am. Learners should bring a book or work/revision to complete during this time.

Should the government announce a bank holiday in the event of an England victory, the school will be closed. This information will be shared via the website. Please ensure you check this on Monday morning.

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

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
