23rd February 2012 Congratulations to the Harrow Way year 7 boys’ rugby team for winning the Andover and District Schools Rugby Sevens Festival for 2012! Their incredible success, which saw victories over John Hanson, Test Valley, Testbourne and Test Valley Schools, was made all the more sweeter by the manner in [...]
Today was like the Arctic, minus 22 degrees at resort level. Who knows what it was at the top, but it made you shiver. The children have learnt a lot about how to cope in the cold weather. They just got on with it and were very uncomplaining. We think that [...]
The sun has got his hat on, hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray, The sun has got his hat on, but not kept the cold away! This morning it was -17 in the resort. Brrrrrr! But it didn’t stop us from braving the elements, all looking like Michelin men, wrapped up and [...]

And we’re off! What a long day it’s been. Everyone’s safe and sound; tucked up in bed trying to catch up on the sleep lost today. Thank you to our wonderful band of parents who got their children to school at the delightful time of 2.45am. Little did we know that [...]
