Salvatorian College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Salvatorian College is a Roman Catholic, grant maintained school for boys aged from 11–16 years, situated in Wealdstone in the London Borough of Harrow, in the Trusteeship of the Society of the Divine Saviour.

The Salvatorian College is an all boys school a situated in Harrow Weald, and is opposite the all girls school known as Sacred Heart. Each class consits of five forms, Alban, Becket, Campion, Francis and Gabriel. All boys from the Salvatorian College are given the option to go to St. Dominic's sixth form if they pass certain grades in their GCSE's, which are supplied to students in Year 11.

The school follows very strict guidelines, however these are done for the students own good. Its specialities are Science and Maths, and is a very successful school especially for an all boys school, as boys are not as willing to learn as much as girls are. The headteacher is known as Mr. Andrew Graham. Each day the children go through six lessons, each consisting of 50 minutes, known as periods. They also have a 15 minute break and 50 minute lunch break.

The school has received much praise for keeping the children under control, creating manerly students out of them instead of the usual boystrois and violent boys you would find in most schools. It is quite small for a high school, having fewer than 750 students. However, this creates quite a peaceful environment which the boys (or gents as the teachers call them) can easily work in.

It receives very good GCSE grades and has exceptional status for such a small school.
