Socializing in Harrow

“As of writing this review, I'm a Year 12 student who's been in the school for almost six years, and I'm taking A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Computer Science and French. Thus, I feel I'm more experienced than most other reviewers to talk about the school. Firstly, let me say that this is no grammar or private school. Not everyone's parents have hundreds of thousands of pounds to send their children, and not everyone finds irrational joy in studying eight hours a day every day after school. Most people are just your average person, but for me, that's perfect. You'll get to know most of the people in your year, and perhaps in the years above and below you, too. Friendship groups form quickly and easily, and many are happy to accept other students. In the older years (Year 10 onwards), people start to socialise with others outside their friendship group, and I enjoy the social scene here. In my case, being able to talk to extremely talented people is an opportunity I wouldn't exchange for anything: I've grown attached to my friends as though they were family. And, while not everyone here is a four A*-type student, we certainly get those types: every year, we have students who get all A*s and go off to Oxford or Cambridge. If you aspire to be one of those students, don't write off Claremont just because you think you'll do better by going to another school! The teachers are also incredibly polite, for the most part. (Of course, there are teachers who the younger students would consider strict, but as you grow older, you'll see that it's just the different teaching personalities they adopt, and in reality, they aren't really that strict after all—your class were just really annoying!) They devote plenty of time and effort into ensuring every student succeeds academically and as a person. Their lessons are usually very well-planned, but their devotion to their students truly shines when one of them asks for help or discusses a topic with a teacher that they're both passionate about. This is especially helpful in the Sixth Form, where you'll often find yourself wanting to stimulate your own interest in the subject! Every week, we also hold competitions and clubs for all lower years, from sports to chess; we also have a few more unorthodox ones such as a cybersecurity/hacking club. The extracurricular scene is a bit lacking for the Sixth Form, though, but since you're allowed to leave when you don't have lessons, you probably won't need it. We have an active student body which includes a Prefect Team and a Student Voice, both of which allow students to suggest changes to improve the school. And while Claremont is by no means perfect, I thoroughly enjoy my time here, and I could not imagine having a better experience at any other school.”

“Absolutely fantastic nursery for little children, everything is perfect”

“Amazing child care facility.”

“Been going here for years and absolutely love getting my nails done here. Thi & Nancy are amazing and they know exactly what we like without having to even discuss colours. Great friendly place and not overpriced. Would highly recommend the salon. Definitely book in as they're always busy so although they take walk ins it'd be a long wait. They offer beauty salon treatments in the back as well. Always great experience to get mine and my best friends nails done here. Variety of colors is amazing and so many to choose from.”

“Perfect for a late night snack”

We love The Little Academy, they've become a part of the family and we know he's in safe hands. The meals are balanced and activities vary to keep the kids. The staff are amazing”

“Nice place for kids, efficient service, staff are friendly. Kids love this place. Not an expensive nursery”

“Wonderful place for your little ones to learn and grow. Our son has been going there for nine months now and we could not be happier. It was his first time at a nursery so he was obviously a little scared for the first few times, but they looked after him and he clearly has a great time there, as now he doesn't even stop to say goodbye to me as he runs in when I drop him off. Highly recommended.”
