Student engagement activities in Harrow

“Left the school 6 years ago and am now going into my 2nd year of university. Orley Farm was a great experience. Brilliant facilities, staff and I thoroughly enjoyed my 9 years at the school. Orley Farm’s holistic education and excellence in all areas of school life is what makes it stands out from the rest.”

“Fantastic leadership group and a lovely setting for children to learn.”

“My girls have been going to Fresh Arts classes for years. I think it's been transformational for them. It's given them confidence performing, and a love of the arts, with a really varied and fun curriculum, incorporating lots of different songs, poems, playscripts and games. Each class is really tailored to the age group - lots of fun and imagination led things for younger ones, with challenging and involved pieces for older ones. Fresh Arts also give really great preparation if your child is interested in doing LAMDA or musical theatre exams, but I love that this is never the main aim of the classes. It's always about enjoyment. I can't rate the teachers high enough. They're wonderful!”

“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.”

“Our daughter has been going here for the last 4 years. It is wonderful to see her grow into a smart and confident girl. All the staff has been very helpful and want the children to prosper. Thank you Elmgrove family.”

“I have started sending my son when he was 15 months old and the developments that I see in him since then is amazing. He can now sing rhymes, count numbers, identifies things and also picked some good habits like helping others, greeting people , tidying up his play room etc.Darshana and her team are very supportive, friendly and always willing to listen feedback. I strongly recommend this nursery if you are looking for a home like care for your child.”

“Amazing school! Had lots of memories there I will never forget xx”

“I go to this school it is so fun the whole KS2 got to try the new VR Headset!”

“Mr.Patadia is the best teacher ever!!!!!!! (this is jai) i am sooooo sad dat im leaving this year”

“Both my sons go here and I must say this is the best that could happen to my children. The teachers are not only highly qualified but they come with a lot of emotional intelligence and treat the kids the best way. The teachers' experience speaks volumes in how the children behave on and off school environments and I will recommend this school to every parent who want to give the best to their kids. Thank you Alpha Prep.”

“I am extremely pleased with Stag Lane infant school; my children are always happy to be at school & the overall environment is fantastic. Absolutely wonderful teachers/staff and very structured classes. They have an amazing nursery; with the most hard working staff! The learning begins with the basics at nursery & continues in the years to follow. Totally recommend the infant and nursery school!”

“Is a great school with lovely staff and happy children who do well!”

“Excellent school; well run, with very good teachers. Our first child went there when Mrs Lyons was HT and he loved it. We still have 2 kids who love the school. The good standard is still being carried on by Mrs Conlon”

“Amazing highschool plus supper cheap shop right next to it”

“I miss this school. When you're there it doesn't feel like it , but you don't realise it until you get into the big wide world. D Chambers”

“Class of '89 here. Whilst not exactly relevant to those expecting a modern times review, it was a great school back then. The teachers were so friendly, and everyone just got along. Mr. Mash, Miss Spice, Mr. Fenny, Miss Siddle - to name just a few teachers who I recall at the time. Miss you all.”

“Ml since attending this school my children are alot Happier and love school teachers are nice”

“I strongly recommend this place as it establishes good behaviour in every student via a positive feedback loop which rewards them for a good learning attitude. The staff are also highly trained and I would like to thank them all for their hard and dedicated work. My child stayed at helix for 6 months and was able to completely change his attitude. He returned to a different high school and was able to pass his GCSE exams. Thank you so much for all your hard work.”

“Great please to study Theology and Business Information Systems”

“The school is fantastic; culturally rich and diverse. The heads are hands on and easily approachable. Personally, I found it to be an amazing first school for my children; I compared it with other schools in the other surrounding area; not only are they ofsted outstanding, the atmosphere and environment at school is second to none! I would recommend the school most certainly!”

“Love this school. Friendly staff, my child is happy to go there”

“If people are going to leave a 1 star rate for this School suggesting it is sub standard, then at least have the guts to put why you feel this is the case! Just leaving a 1 star rating is pathetic. I left a 5 star rating because the school excels in all departments, especially in caring for their children. Andrew Phelps”
