Today we held our last assembly with our outgoing year 11 students after their Physics examination. Mr Reed, Year Leader for Year 11, ran the assembly and looked back over the past 5 years the students have been at Harrow Way. Goodbye messages from their tutors and other members of staff were played, while students enjoyed a Harrow Way cup-cake.

After the Year 11 students made their way to the field, via a tunnel of applauding year 7 students, to have their final year group confetti celebration photo. Images can be viewed here.

The Art Department at Harrow Way has put up a display of the GCSE Art + Design Portfolio (coursework) and Externally Set Task (exam) ready for the Moderator’s visit on Monday. To share their work and celebrate their achievement we are opening up the department on Wednesday 12th June 2019 from 3.45pm – 6.45pm to parents/carers to come and look at the work.

On a lovely Summer’s day at St Cross Cricket Club the best under 15 cricket teams met for a days competition. All teams showed some great cricket skills and it was played in a competitive but sporting manner.

Harrow Way played four 8 over games and won against Perrins and Applemore College. All Harrow Way players performed very well but special mention has to be made to Oliver Banks Williams for playing for an age group up and opening the batting all day, James Pay for a great bowling spell where he was on a hat-trick, and Neo ‘Boycott’ Black for hitting his first ever six for the school.

Basingstoke College of Technology (BCoT) is hosting an Apprenticeship Recruitment Fair on Monday 17 June from 4.30pm to 7.00pm. The fair will see them host over 30 employers across varying industries, all of which have active apprenticeship vacancies and also expert information for anyone that is possibly interested in doing an apprenticeship.

Please find attached a poster for the event, this event is open to all and is a fantastic opportunity for year 11 or year 10 students to speak to employers about apprenticeship vacancies.

You can find further information on the following link: www.bcot.ac.uk/news-and-events/2019/06/apprenticeship-recruitment-fair Students can also register their interest for the event at the above link as well.

Please find attached a poster providing details of BCoT summer drop in sessions, including on GCSE results day.

We understand students may change their minds over the summer break or have questions about the options available to them once they have their results. Our drop in sessions are a great way for students to talk to someone in careers about their next steps or college application.

On Friday 3rd May we held a non-uniform day in aid of the Charity, Amazing Alice. From the donations from the non-school uniform day and the selling of Alice Ribbons, we have raised £800 for the Amazing Alice Charity.

On Friday 4th May it will be two years since we lost Alice Razza. Alice was a Year 11 student who battled with cancer and sadly passed away on 4th May 2017. Her family have set up a charity called Amazing Alice. They work with the Piam Brown ward in Southampton to grant ‘wishes’ for young people with cancer.

Basingstoke College of Technology have their final Open Evening for the academic year on Monday 13th May 4.30pm to 7pm. This is an excellent opportunity for students, as there is still time for year 11 students to apply for their place at BCoT. The evening will also provide a brilliant chance for year 10 students to start thinking about their future choices.

On the evening students will be able to see our state of the art facilities, speak to current students, talk to course directors and learn more about the courses available to them. They will also have the opportunity to hear from our Principal, Anthony Bravo and our apprenticeship department, Aspiral Learning. Please find attached a poster for the event.
