Twenty-nine boys attained ten or more grades 9, 8 or A*, with 54 boys acquiring nine or more grades 9, 8 or A*. We were also delighted with the public examination and university successes of our Upper Sixth leavers this summer. Nearly one third of all grades were the highest possible, meaning that, for the third year in a row, the A* rate has exceeded the School’s average A* rate since the grade was introduced in 2010. In most modern foreign languages and in History of Art, boys take the Pre-U qualification. An impressive 49% of Pre-U grades were awarded either a D1 or D2, which are the highest two grades available and the equivalent of an A* or higher. This year's leavers will be taking up places at seven of the world's top ten universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford and Chicago, and six of the eight Ivy League schools in America. Others have secured places at the UK's most academically selective universities such as Imperial, UCL, LSE and Durham. HARROVIANS RAISE MONEY FOR SRI LANKA Following the murder of 259 people in a series of attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday 2019, a number of Harrovians undertook fundraising activities for the Sri Lanka Relief Fund on Speech Day. With contributions on the day, plus existing funds from the Harrow Development Trust and planned giving, the total raised was £5,000.

  • Sudbury – Then and Now This Document Is a Permanent Record of the Display Material from the Exhibition Which Was Held in October 2015
    Sudbury – Then and Now This document is a permanent record of the display material from the exhibition which was held in October 2015. It is the result of a community local history project, carried out in partnership between Wembley History Society and Brent Museum and Archives from January 2015 onwards, working particularly with the two main residents’ associations covering Sudbury Court and Sudbury Town, and with the Friends of Barham Library. The idea was that their members could “adopt” an old photograph or postcard of the area from the Brent Archives collection, take a matching colour view of the same location, and provide some information or stories which helped to tell the history of the scene, and how it had changed between “then” and “now”. Two local primary schools, Sudbury and Barham, also took up the invitation to get involved. Their Year 5 classes used some old photographs for their own local history projects during the summer term. Between them they contributed four pairs of images to the display. The following pages are for everyone to share and enjoy, and discover more about Sudbury. 1 List of the Sudbury locations featured in the exhibition display:- Maps showing the locations of the photographs (pages 3 & 4) 18.
