Manderson B.A.(Hons), PGCE, NPQH CEO: Dr. John Reavley, B.A. M.A. Ed.D. www.rooksheath.harrow.sch.uk 26 May 2020 Dear Parents / Carers, Joint letter from Harrow Secondary Headteachers Harrow’s schools always collaborate to support our community. Together we make decisions we consider to be in the best interests of our children and families. In these challenging times this is more important than ever. We know that Harrow and our neighbouring boroughs have been particularly hard hit by Covid- 19; every school community has been affected by it personally. We extend to you collectively our support in these uncertain times. Your Headteachers work together to keep families up to date with how we want our own groups of students to stay well and stay learning. We continue to read the extensive, and changing, guidance from a wide range of medical, teaching and government sources and we discuss this as a group of Heads to apply to our individual schools. As we work together, we also know our schools are all slightly different too; in transport routes, building and classroom design and staff availability. Comparison between schools, and speculation around that is not helpful. We remain open to support key workers’ families and priority students, which we do in our own ways. Heads are sharing ideas as we all consider how to expand this to offer ‘some face to face provision for years 10 and 12.’ Whilst the specifics of how each school extends their provision will be tailored to our own particular needs, we will work together to keep our community informed, and help families plan ahead.

  • Dear Parents and Carers I Don't Know About You, but I Do Know That The
    Dear Parents and Carers I don’t know about you, but I do know that the staff, children and myself are certainly looking forward to a well-earned break! It’s been, as always at Nower Hill, a whirlwind of a half term with plenty going on. We had a very busy summer holiday with lots of work being carried out at the school – I hope the children have reported back to you positively on our refurbished hall, canteen and Volumetric building, which have really improved our learning environment. In addition, every classroom this summer was equipped with a visualiser to enhance teaching and learning and allow us to easily model best practice to the students. At the start of September, we welcomed another 324 new Year 7 students to our school community and are delighted with how well they have settled into Nower Hill life; they are finding their way around the school site very ably now and not looking quite so exhausted under their Nower Hill backpacks, as they work out smarter ways to carry less and work out the short cuts around the school! I hope that you have appreciated our Year Ahead evenings for every year group which we have introduced this term. We felt that this would be a worthwhile addition to our school calendar, giving us an additional opportunity to meet with parents and carers and keep you informed of the key events in the forthcoming year. We have also tried to include useful information pertinent to the particular age of your children and where appropriate, presentations from students giving a child’s eye view of the year to come.

  • MGLA260719-8697 Date
    Our ref: MGLA260719-8697 Date: 22 August 2018 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 26 June 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
