Our A Level Spanish students have just returned from an unforgettable 5‑day immersive adventure in Málaga! From living with warm and welcoming host families to tasting delicious traditional dishes (including the unmissable churros con chocolate), every moment was a cultural feast. We wandered through the stunning Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, sipped fragrant Moorish tea in an authentic tetería, and put our Spanish skills to the test in Málaga’s vibrant food market. The trip finished with a burst of creativity at the Pompidou Centre of Contemporary Art, where students explored bold ideas and opened their minds to new perspectives. We came back inspired, energised… and already wishing we could go again!![]()

Recently Tolethorpe Youth Drama visited School to hold a workshop with our Year 12 and 13 students. This was extremely well received, with a number of students getting their first taste of YouthTheatre. Thank you to the Tolethorpe team for giving us this opportunity. ![]()

This week our A level Art, Craft and Design students attended a life drawing workshop with visiting artist Scott Bridgwood. ![]()
Scott is a full-time professional artist. He graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 1992. After exhibiting in and around London, he emigrated to Rome, Italy where he lived and worked as an artist for ten years. It was there that he discovered his passion for figurative art.![]()
He now lives in Leicester where he still works as an artist and teaches Life Drawing and Portraiture at Attenborough Arts in Leicester. He is a member of the ‘Leicester Society of Artists’.![]()
As this was the student’s first-time life drawing Scott guided them through a series of studies using a range of drawing techniques including drawing shadows, negative space and opposing curves. This artwork supports the work students are doing for their A level qualification and will be particularly useful for those students wishing to apply for foundation and degree courses in Art and Design subjects.![]()
The workshop was an excellent opportunity for our students to broaden their portfolio and gain knowledge from a professional practitioner. The students were a credit to Harington in the way they conducted themselves and the work they produced.![]()

Since opening in 2015, Harington School has provided outstanding A-level education for local students, with 80%+ securing their first-choice university and 97% of parents recommending us. Demand for places now far exceeds our current 150-student capacity.![]()
![]()
This success and the increase in the population locally has resulted in significantly increased demand for places which we are unable to meet. In September 2025, we received 360 applications for 150 places, and we are seeing the same level of interest again this year. Our largest and closest feeder school, Catmose College, is also expanding, which will result in an additional 30 students becoming eligible to apply next year. We therefore anticipate even greater pressure on places in the years ahead.![]()

We’re proposing to increase admissions to 200 students per year so more local young people can access high-quality sixth-form education.![]()
