Advanced Level
Photography is offered at the Harrodian only at A level and is treated very much as an Art, indeed the subject is classified within the suite of Art and Design. Students will gain an understanding of the mechanics and principles of SLR based photography, both in the chemical and digital mediums. The subject has recently broadened its scope to include video work so providing a truly modern option for the exploitation of artistic ideas.
Students work in their own suite with a dedicated Macintosh computer and photographic studio. Results and expectations are high. The student is expected to furnish their own camera for the course, information about which is available upon request.
Each year the students tackle two units of work, one chosen by the candidate which best reflects their interests, the other from a selection offered by the examination board.
On Saturday 6th June 2009, the Harrodian School celebrated its 15th anniversary with a Charity Summer Ball. The event was organised and hosted by a dedicated committee of four parents together with the Harrodian School Parent's Association. The occasion also marked ten years of dynamic and inspiring leadership by the Headmaster, James Hooke and the Principal, Peter Thomson. 
During the Spring half term 24 children and 4 teachers from the senior school embarked on another China adventure. The itinerary took in the modern delights of Shanghai, Xian, the Ancient capital of China, where we were amazed at the sight of the Terracotta Warriors dating back to 210BCE, and the beautiful Buddhist Wild Goose Pagoda.
