Welcome to the Harrodian School's website. I hope it provides a helpful and informative introduction to the school and will encourage you to visit us and meet our wonderful pupils and their teachers.
The Harrodian is an exciting, vibrant and high-achieving learning environment that lays firm academic foundations for our pupils and prepares them for a positive and confident transition into the adult world. Pupils are inspired to succeed and excel in all levels of their academic studies, as well as to develop a broad range of interests and skills. The school is a friendly and warm educational community, which encourages pupils' individuality whilst providing a unique environment in which to foster close and long-lasting friendships.
Founded in 1993, the Harrodian School has grown from a small school of 65 pupils to our current intake of 940 pupils in September 2009. Class sizes are approximately 22 and all pupils have both a Form Tutor and Head of Year to look after them and oversee their academic and personal well-being. The school's success and popularity can be attributed, in part, to our excellent academic results, state-of-the-art facilities and beautiful grounds and to the range of choice and opportunity available to each child.
We are careful to employ passionate and dedicated specialist teachers and support staff who work together to offer Harrodians an all-round, balanced and stimulating education.
You can learn more about the Harrodian by browsing this website. The only real way to experience the Harrodian spirit, however, is to visit us. We invite you to join one of our tours, to meet our dynamic staff and, above all, our pupils. They are our finest ambassadors and will speak enthusiastically of what the Harrodian means to them.
I look forward to meeting you.
James Hooke

The two Reception classes in the Pre-Prep Department have been studying food as a topic this term. They have been learning about the changes that happen to ingredients when they are cooked and have been using their senses to make decisions about which foods they like and dislike.
