Harlington is a vibrant and diverse learning community – our staff and students bring a wonderful cultural and linguistic diversity to our classrooms, leading to energetic debate and imaginative thinking – learning is at our heart. We are proud to serve our local community, and we are renowned for being a caring, inclusive school, that encourages its students to be bold and adventurous thinkers. Our students possess a wide range of talents and abilities, and we seek to develop every child’s potential through a highly traditional, academic curriculum, that prepares them for university and beyond. Harlington School’s ambition is to offer its students the best possible educational opportunities. We are a mixed, non-selective school for students between 11 and 19 years old. We expect our students to leave Harlington School with the confidence and qualifications to enable them to move onto a university or a career of their choice. To do this we: Have high expectations of commitment to learning from students, staff, and parents. Have high expectations of conduct. Provide a safe, caring environment where respect and for others are taught and valued. Provide high-quality teaching. Provide a curriculum that meets the needs of all students, whatever their ability. Provide a range of extra-curricular activities. Provide regular, careful review and assessment of every student’s progress and needs and tailored support for each child. Involve parents in every aspect of their child’s education and emotional well-being whilst at school. Harlington School endeavors to enable every pupil to reach their potential through the promoting of a calm, positive, and purposeful learning ethos. Our Behaviour for Learning Policy emphasizes high regard for effective learning and social inclusion. Respect and personal responsibility for the pursuit of academic excellence underpin our focus on a relentless pursuit of good behavior, high levels of attendance and punctuality, strict adherence to the wearing of our school uniform, and positive and respectful attitudes towards one another. A collective and consistent approach will lead to every student achieving the highest possible academic standards. Every individual student that attends Harlington School is important to us, and every student has different needs and aspirations which all need to be nurtured. As an inclusive school, we recognize, celebrate, and embrace diversity in all its forms. Harlington School is a diverse, multi-faith community providing education for children of all faiths and none. Religious Education and Assemblies will be delivered in line with this ethos, with many different faiths being explored. The Religious Education curriculum will reflect the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are mainly Christian while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other religions represented in Great Britain. As a parent/carer, you have a right to withdraw your child from religious education and collective worship. Harlington School believes that our students hugely benefit from visiting places of interest, and staff is dedicated and willing to take students to a wide variety of places and experiences. These experiences will broaden students’ horizons and deepen their learning. There are many opportunities for local national and international trips. These are outlined in our ‘Magic & Sparkle’ flyer. View full school
