As a large number of Year 12 students have started driving lessons and a few have passed their test - congratulations. We thought now would be a good time to discuss the topic of being a safe motorist.![]()
Thank you to the Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) team who came in to School to talk about road safety recently. They focused on the “The Fatal Four” which are driving and using a mobile phone (or device), driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs, not wearing a seatbelt and speeding.![]()
Students also had the opportunity to take part in a fully immersive 360 degree Virtual Reality experience.![]()

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!![]()

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.![]()
