Harrow and the Hill Community Day Event
As members of the Harrow family of schools, we have kindly been invited to join the ‘Harrow and the Hill Community Day’ next Saturday 30 April. Pupils, parents, residents and friends from around the Hill are invited to join in a day of celebration to mark the 450th Anniversary of Harrow School.
With the high street being closed to cars for the day, please do take advantage of the excellent public transport links. Food stalls and restaurants will be open from midday with most events taking place between 2pm and 6pm. Highlights include art, photography and sculpture exhibitions and workshops, exhibitions of traditional games, an Old Speech Room Gallery 450 exhibition, access to the Rayleigh Observatory, costume-themed streets, Bellringing in St Mary’s Church, dance acts and street theatre. John Lyon pupils will be supporting the event with contributions to the music, drama, CCF and archery line-ups, whilst our prep pupils from Quainton Hall will be performing Bollywood dances!

We do hope you will visit what promises to be a fun event for the whole family.
We provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities for all pupils.
At our Prep School we concur with educational theorists who emphasise the importance of the creative mind and ‘emotional intelligence’ and ‘wellbeing’ – the need to develop the whole personality and our pupil’s imaginations especially. Drama has the power to liberate the mind.
We encourage our pupils to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. 
At our Prep School, Computing covers the use of electronic technology in all its forms, including computers and other communication devices.
• What is religion?
Art is an integral part of our Prep School’s curriculum, providing our pupils with a unique means of expressing their ideas by allowing them to explore new thoughts and give life to their creative minds.
History is taught throughout the School and pupils are encouraged to find out about events and peoples.
Planet Earth is our only home. It is an mind-blowing, diverse and constantly changing place of awesome beauty and power. 
French is the language of our nearest neighbours, probably the easiest foreign language for English speakers to learn and, after English, one of the most widely-learned languages worldwide.
The core of every science lesson at our Prep School is about developing every pupil’s curiosity in the world around them. 
Mathematics is a key subject for children of all ages at our Prep School.
English is taught using lively and creative methods through a variety of texts and resources incorporating ICT from Pre-Prep onwards.
