Working in conjunction with the University of Winchester, Harrow Way has given 20 Year 10 students the opportunity to experience life at university. Through a series of workshops and time spent on the campus the Aspire Project Day offers students the opportunity to see first-hand if higher education could be an option for them.

Kevin Peebles, Harrow Way’s careers lead said: “This wasn’t about promoting the University of Winchester or indeed saying university would be the best path for these students. This was an opportunity for students to work on a project and spend time in a higher education environment in order to determine for themselves what it would be like to study and live at a university. With important decisions coming next year we hope the experience will enable these students to make some informed decisions about their futures.” Read more…

After finishing narrow runners-up out of 8 teams in the previous tournament, Harrow Way entered this event with high hopes of success. Despite an early defeat in the first game, the girls kept their composure, beating Winton 2-1, Rookwood 2-1 and drawing against Test Valley 1-1. Player of the tournament Julia scored 4 of our goals, with Faith scoring the 5th.

Tireless effort from the Year 7’s of Lily, Jisa, Luana, Annabelle and Tianna kept the games tight, and we were delighted to hear when the final results were announced that we again finished in second place.

With one more tournament left to play this year, Harrow Way will be looking to end on a victorious high.

Harrow Way played some lovely expansive rugby and were very strong at the ruck and maul. This enabled the team to win 35 – 20 with all the players having good performances. Albie Head was given Man of the Match for his dominating play in the second half.

On Tuesday 15th of January Harrow Way hosted the Year 1 Skills4Life Festival for our Cluster Primary Schools. The Harrow Way Student Leadership Team expertly guided​ nearly forty excited young pupils around a circuit of events that developed teamwork and basic motor skills.

Italy’s beautiful Bay of Naples provided the perfect backdrop for a Harrow Way school Geography trip. Students from Years 10-11 experienced first-hand the geographical impact on land and people as they enjoyed four days in the bay, famous for its rugged coastline, archaeological riches, the mighty Vesuvius volcano and the lost city of Pompeii.

Rebecca Calder, Curriculum Leader, Geography/Humanities said: “This area of Italy is rich in wonderful examples of Geography in action! This was an invaluable experience for students to see geographical processes, landforms and how people of the region prepare for natural hazards. We are also always very keen at Harrow Way to provide students with opportunities which enable them to try something new, to enjoy foreign travel, appreciate a foreign country’s heritage, sights and culture. I’m very proud that they represented Harrow Way fantastically.” Read more…

Harrow Way hosted a very successful girls indoor football tournament on Wednesday 12th December, with 8 teams from 5 schools taking part. With the competition split into 2 pools, each team were to play 3 games, with the winner from both pools playing a final.

‘Harrow Way 2′ was a completely Year 7 team, and they played fantastically well, with 3 close fought games, only going down 1-0, 1-0 and 2-0.’Harrow Way 1’ only had 2 out of their 5 players from Year 8, but were superb, finishing an unbeaten joint 1st from their pool.

A 2 minute golden goal game against Winton to decide who was going into the final was played, with Faith slotting in a goal with just seconds left. The final against John Hanson 1 was much the same, with the score remaining 0-0 through the duration and into extra time. A sudden death penalty shoot out determined the result, with Harrow Way narrowly missing out on overall victory.

An excellent tournament, all girls played superbly, and looking forward to the rematch tournament in the New Year.
