The school’s values of good manners, consideration and respect flow through Harrodian. One pupil’s view that, ‘this is a place where you can 100% be yourself’ echoed the views of others. Parents and carers are highly positive about the school. They emphasise the quality of pastoral care and support provided by staff. Leaders have high expectations for their pupils, including for their behaviour and academic achievement. Pupils respond to these expectations. They behave extremely well and achieve highly. Pupils learn about bullying. They say it is not accepted and that adults would deal with it quickly. Pupils feel happy and safe. One reason for this is the range of opportunities that are created for older pupils to work with younger pupils. This includes being a buddy or mentor. The buddy scheme includes subjects such as reading, Spanish and mathematics. As a result, pupils of different backgrounds, experiences and ages get on very well together. The school benefits from extensive grounds and facilities. These support the curriculum well, for example in swimming and the performing arts. That said, the early years outdoor provision is not enriching the curriculum as well as it should.
