Harrodian Values

Educating the whole child

The three age group schools that make up the Harrodian – Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior/Sixth form – are united in sharing a clear and distinctive vision and spirit which is set out below.

• We value academic excellence highly, as well as hard work and personal achievement.
• We encourage pupils to think independently and express themselves confidently and creatively in their writing and speech.
• We employ engaging and dynamic teaching across a wide subject range so that children at every level in the School are inspired to work to the very best of their abilities.
• We work hard to ensure our pupils become independent learners equipped with the resilience to focus on continuous improvement.
• We are committed to ‘educating the whole child’ academically, physically, socially, culturally and morally, in and beyond the classroom.
• Pastoral care policies, carefully tailored to the needs of each age group and caringly implemented by Harrodian staff, are embedded at the heart of our School, underpinning our community.
• We value and promote richness of racial and ethnic diversity, welcoming and including pupils from all global cultures and groups.
• We create an accepting and tolerant environment for our pupils, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, through education, support and advocacy.
• We provide a safe haven within which every pupil is valued and respected and can access all facets of school life without fear of harassment.
• We help Harrodians to grow into thoughtful, healthy and considerate young people who are as confident and well-rounded as they are well-informed.  

 

Leaders have high expectations for their pupils, including for their behaviour and academic achievement.  Pupils respond to these expectations.  They behave extremely well and achieve highly.
