Dr Rob Guthrie, the Chairman of the School's Trustees said "It is such a shame that so many students, after achieving such an excellent education to age 16 within the county, currently feel the need to travel large distances outside Rutland to further their academic ambitions. Harington is determined to address this issue and make this exodus a thing of the past. I am confident this consultation will confirm the community's support for this School."
Harington School is committed to offering an academic curriculum complemented by a wide variety of extra-curricular and personal development opportunities which will provide a platform for entry to the most prestigious Universities. Students will be encouraged within a well disciplined caring community to develop as confident, self-motivated and independent young adults with high expectations of themselves.
The school is now accepting applications from students who are currently in Year 11; to apply, students need to complete the application form which can be found on www.haringtonschool.com.

The early positive response indicates that the School is likely to be oversubscribed for places, therefore it is worth interested parties reading the Admissions Policy to understand how places are allocated; this can also be found on the Harington website.
