We offer a supportive environment in which professional and pedagogical development is at the heart of what we do and in which teacher 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 2023 was

"The school is a positive environment for learning. learners' behaviour is sensible in lessons and around the school" OFSTED 2023

We have the highest aspirations and expectations for young people. This means that university progression rates are excellent, there are lots of extra curricular activities and a full programme of school excursions. At the same time, behaviour in lessons and around the school is consistently excellent. Teachers can look forward to working with engaged, motivated, sensible classes and doing what they do best.

What staff have to say:

The collaborative and supportive work environment at this school is something I greatly admire. The school's emphasis on teamwork, collaboration, and professional learning communities aligns perfectly with my own beliefs about effective teaching practices.

Harrow High is committed to providing opportunities for staff and learners to grow and expand their skills. I firmly believe that a school's ethos plays a vital role in achieving its targets. I teach in a lovely school where the vast majority of parents and learners are very respectful and supportive of the school and the staff.

Harrow High has high expectations, is highly motivating, and believes in all of its learners.

(Nasreen, Science teacher)

I have worked at 3 schools in my career, and by far I have been the happiest and fulfilled at Harrow High, which explains why I have worked here for over 10 years now The whole team is very driven towards our mission of "Excellence for All" and it is inspiring working with such driven and mission aligned colleagues every day. During my time at Harrow High, I have developed as a teacher and leader, through the vast range of professional development opportunities available to me; mentoring from experienced colleagues, networking with external colleagues through the Harrow Collegiate TSA, and completing National Professional Qualifications. All of these have enabled me to undertake a wide range of roles in the school, such as KS4 Science Coordinator, Head of Sixth Form, and SLT, and this variety in roles, has kept me motivated, and excited to work here.

(Kevin, deputy headteacher)

Firstly, wonderful learners that make an excellent teaching environment. Very friendly and supportive team of colleagues that create an excellent working environment and also the feeling that, if you are passionate and driven, you will see real results. You can have a positive impact.

(Joe, Head of Humanities)

Harrow High is a nurturing and caring school where teacher's well being and care for each other is a priority. As a member of staff I feel valued and appreciated by both colleagues and learners
