Last term, our students learned that they could save a life, just by being their unique selves. They had a Hero Project visit from Anthony Nolan, the charity that matches people with blood cancers and blood disorders to incredible strangers willing to donate their stem cells. We’re so proud that 77 of our students made the decision to become potential lifesavers.![]()
The Hero Project is a free programme that educates 16 to 18-year-olds about stem cell, blood, and organ donation. Younger donors offer better survival rates for patients, meaning young people have the power to save a life. They can also build valuable skills as Student Champions, helping to educate their peers on donation.![]()

We are pleased to announce our Greenpower Team 5.0. Greenpower is a UK charity that promotes STEM education through electric car racing. Harington School’s Year 12 team is competing in the F24+ category with their two cars, Vector and Scalar.![]()
Taking part in Greenpower allows students to gain hands-on engineering experience while also developing management and finance skills in a fully student-led project. Now in its fourth year, the team aims to improve on last year’s ranking of 25th overall and 10th in class, while also completing their scratch-built car, Scalar.![]()
As the team relies entirely on sponsorship, support is vital. Sponsors will have their branding on the cars, receive race updates, and help inspire future engineers from Rutland.![]()

Our Year 12 French students set off for their annual exchange to our partner school in Montmartre, Paris! Travelling by Eurostar, they met their host families and drove straight into French life. Highlights included lessons at Lycée Jules Ferry, a visit to Gallérie Dior and the Champs-Élysées, Notre Dame, the Museum of Liberation, and the Musée d’Orsay (the polar bear statue was a hit!). We enjoyed a delicious group meal at Le Bouillon in Montmartre and even saw the Eiffel Tower on a Friday night. By Sunday, students returned with new confidence, cultural insights, and unforgettable memories. Exchange trips like this truly make language learning come alive!![]()

During the end of last term, Year 13 historians visited the Imperial War Museum. They attended a Holocaust talk and spent over 2 hours exploring the powerful Holocaust Galleries to deepen their coursework understanding. In the afternoon, students toured the rest of the museum, experiencing a WW1 trench and interactive displays for their British Experience of Warfare module. The day ended with some free time at Battersea Power Station after a thought-provoking visit.![]()
