Congratulations to Year 12 Harington students Alex and George who have achieved a prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship, designed to inspire students to pursue their dreams and change the world as a future leader in engineering. Both have been awarded funded scholarships, Alex is being sponsored by the RAF and George’s sponsor is The Valentine Charitable Trust. This means that support is offered in various different ways, for example, hands-on work experience, networking events, support for curriculum projects and a personal mentor who can help studies and career planning. Alex and George worked on an engineering project to support their applications which also included an exam and interview whilst at Catmose College.#haringtonschool #arkwrightscholarships #RAF #EngineeringScholarships #TheValentineCharitableTrust #arkwrighttalent
We are incredibly proud to share that four of our talented students—Dylan, Harry R, Harry B (helms), and Katie (crew), have triumphed at the Irish Schools Team Racing National Championship. This prestigious event took place over the weekend at the Royal St George Yacht Club in Dublin, and our students, as part of the Rutland Raiders team, sailed their way to an impressive victory.

Oliver Teasel, Head of School, said, “Once again Harington School is celebrating another fantastic set of results. I am so proud of all our students and their achievements. Over the last two years they have been a pleasure to work with, conducting themselves in a mature and professional manner. We are so lucky to have such great students, dedicated staff and supportive parents. It is therefore no surprise that the results are so strong. Students are leaving Harington to pursue a diverse range of courses at some of the top universities and employers in the country. I am just delighted that Harington School has played a part in unlocking these next steps for them”. Scarlett Holton (AAA*) who is studying Veterinary Science at The University of Liverpool said “I am thankful for the helpful support provided by teachers and the friendships that I have made at Harington. The Doc Soc. (extra- curricular medics, vets and dentist support) has provided me with the opportunity to learn more about medical science and support my application to study veterinary science.” This year six students opted to complete degree level apprenticeships in a diverse range of areas. These include accountancy, The Police and business management. Libby Asher (BCC) who is completing a degree level police constable apprenticeship at Leicestershire Police said “The level of support provided staff has been fantastic to help me achieve my full potential. The whole school community has been a supportive environment.”Harington School is a sixth form offering academic A levels based in Oakham, Rutland.
