Harrow Pride: Six Primary Schools Earn Highest Ofsted Accolade

Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, seated amongst his classmates, this photograph depicts a young African-American schoolboy who was in the process of drawing with a pencil on a piece of white paper. Note that the student was focused on a drawing book that referenced fantasy flying planes, while intent on creating his artwork, seemingly oblivious to all the classroom goings-on that surrounded him. It is important to know that objects, including pencils, crayons, paper, etc., are known as fomites, and can act as transmitters of illnesses.

Six primary schools in Harrow, London, have been recognized for their exceptional educational standards, receiving the 'outstanding' rating from Ofsted. These schools are St George’s Primary Catholic Voluntary Academy, Vaughan Primary School, Pinner Park Primary School, Belmont Primary School, St Anselm’s Catholic Primary School, and Glebe Primary School.

This rating reflects their excellence in various aspects like curriculum, teaching quality, student safety, and overall school environment. Despite some not having recent inspections, their sustained high performance is evident.

Rising Star: Kiyoto Shortlisted for Prestigious Sushi Award in London

Kiyoto, a rapidly growing Japanese sushi restaurant chain owned by the Balsam brothers, has been shortlisted for the 'Best Sushi in London' category in the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards. This achievement comes just six months after the opening of their fifth branch, following their first in Borehamwood in 2016.

The restaurant faces competition from two other nominees, with the owners expressing gratitude for customer support and urging votes before the January 21 deadline. Click here to register your vote.

Have Your Say: Harrow's Proposed Budget Plan and Tax Increase

The London Borough of Harrow is inviting public input on its Draft Budget for 2024/25. This consultation, crucial for community engagement, addresses the council's reliance on Council Tax, which forms the bulk of its revenue budget. Faced with challenges like high inflation, growing demand for adult services, and increasing homelessness, the council proposes a 4.99% Council Tax increase. The budget focuses on prioritizing resident-centric services, maintaining a clean and safe borough, and supporting those in need, with an aim for a balanced budget through careful financial management.
