Boarding creates a culture of education that doesn’t end when the last bell rings. Harrow Hong Kong has created a very contemporary take on a traditional boarding school, providing opportunities to become independent and real world ready. @HeadHarrowHK #harrowschool #Boarding

Boarding is fundamental at Harrow Hong Kong, providing an opportunity to become immersed in school life. It contributes to a better understanding of community and nurtures life-long abilities that will help our pupils far beyond Harrow Hong Kong. @HeadHarrowHK #HarrowSchool

Of all the sporting moments I’ve seen live, this may well be top of the pile. Sport presents moments that shouldn’t happen, couldn’t happen, but beyond any rationality, they do happen. Absolutely extraordinary.

Succumbing to the lure of international teaching

An experienced teacher explains why he wanted to spend his later career years working abroad - and why schools in the UK need to get smart about hiring those returning home

Love this beyond measure. What a manifesto by which to live life. It is so true as well. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? And we all have those absurdities and blunders! ❤️❤️❤️

I have always believed that a School Library should be in the centre of the School & that is exactly as it is @Harrow_HK. 1/3 .

Our Wellbeing Festival kicked off this morning in the most energetic fashion, with a whole school workout. Pupils from the lower, upper school and also staff took to the Astro to take part in a morning workout before the school day started. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #education
