## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School Experience: We've been at Harrow Way for 6 years and have seen our children thrive. The dedication to pastoral care and the 'Be ready, be respectful and be your best' ethos is genuinely inspiring. The facilities are excellent and the opportunities for extracurricular activities are plentiful. *(Feb 2024)*
- **5/5** — Happy with our decision: We've been at Harrow Way for 2 years and are pleased with the school's progress. The 'Harrow Way VLE' has been particularly useful for keeping track of our child's progress, and the enrichment programs have provided great opportunities for our child to develop new skills. *(Jan 2024)*
- **4/5** — Good all-round school: We're happy with our experience at Harrow Way. The school has a good atmosphere and the teachers are supportive. However, we've experienced some issues with communication and organisation at times. *(Sep 2023)*
- **2/5** — Pretty bad: I don't think it deserves 1 star because some teachers are really supportive and nice but doesn't deserve any higher than 2 stars in my opinion. Some of the teachers honestly just suck. It's so unfair all they do is pick on certain students for no particular reason. This and the dresscode is horrible. Detentions for wrong sock colours or untucked shirts? Way too extreme. Students get bullied all the time and all the school does is stick up for the bullies and if a kid defends themself then they … *(Aug 2023)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional school community: My child attended Harrow Way for 3 years and we couldn't be more impressed. The school's values and approach to education really resonated with us. The school community is warm and welcoming, and the teachers are truly dedicated to their students' success. *(May 2023)*
- **4/5** — Great school, really sets you up for sixth form.: Great school, year 7 to 11. Teachers really encourage you to do your best and there is always someone you can talk to if you have any problems. Almost every teacher was class! I'd like to point out Mr. Townsend and Mr. Reed in particular for having a love for learning and they really serve me up for college. Great school. *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — Mad parent: school teachers are the bullies yr 7 teacher is on a power trip threatening kids with detention at every opportunity and you wonder why the mental health is the way it is when you have job worth's as teachers VILE SCHOOL *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — My review: This is an amazing school. Great teachers who push you to be your best. Of course you're not always going to like every single teacher but they are all amazing. I was bullied online and the school dealt with it straight away and really well. Would recommend this school to anyone and everyone. *(Aug 2021)*
- **3/5** — Decent school: Pretty decent school finished here back in 2018. Some rules were v stupid like i skipped class and went home and got a Saturday detention over it which seemed extreme. But there was some real supportive teachers and real nice people. There was some d**khead teachers but thats like any school *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Awful, had to leave: I get bullied really bad and they don't do anything about it *(Dec 2020)*
