Day Students / Non-Residential Schedule Overview 🌞

Junior day students at Harrow enjoy a fun, structured, and supportive timetable filled with lessons, activities, and enrichment — all while returning home each evening. Each day begins with drop-off between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM, followed by morning lessons in small, engaging groups. These lessons alternate with short breaks to help younger learners stay focused and energised. 📘☕

Afternoons bring a range of hands-on activities designed to spark creativity and teamwork. Students take part in 21st Century Skills Explorers sessions, downtime, enrichment blocks, outdoor activities, and supervised study depending on the day.

In the early evening, students enjoy dinner included every day, giving them a relaxed time to socialise with friends and unwind. After dinner, sessions may include downtime, welcome games, or — on Friday — an optional disco from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Daily pick-up happens between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM, unless a special evening event runs later. 🌙🎉
