Our Mission Statement captures the essence of what we believe in and encourages us in all that we do. We constantly remind pupils of the values and principles that we share as a community. The spiritual, moral and cultural development of all our pupils is encouraged through our prayer life, everyday actions and words. The community of Salvatorian College has a local, national and international dimension where pupils and staff are involved in supporting various different Catholic charities and organisations to help the poor and disadvantaged in our world.
HEADTEACHER’S Welcome I am proud to welcome you to the Salvatorian College on behalf of the pupils, staff and governors. Choosing the right school for your children is one of the most important decisions any parent has to undertake. I do hope that you find the information and content of our prospectus helpful in making your decision. I believe that Salvatorian College provides the correct blend of academic challenge, spiritual development and enrichment that allows for the holistic development of each child in our care. Your child is as special to us as they are to you and our aim is not to limit, but rather liberate their potential. I believe the care and guidance offered at Salvatorian College by our outstanding staff provides an ethos that will allow your child to become the special person God intended them to be. I believe passionately in the importance of recognising every pupil as a unique individual with their own gifts and talents who can make a contribution and positive difference to our thriving school community. Paul Kassapian, MA, Headteacher

ACADEMIC LIFE Pupils at Salvatorian College have a distinguished tradition of achieving academic excellence and high standards. The curriculum we provide reflects pupils own interests and we encourage them to develop strategies for personalised and independent learning from a very early age. Our curriculum provides breadth and depth and allows pupils to choose subjects that reflect their own strengths. The highest quality teaching and learning ensure pupils are supported both in the classroom and beyond to achieve their full academic potential. We have excellent links with our partner primary schools, other local secondary schools and various different universities and colleges of further education. We understand that learning can take place in so many different situations both in and beyond the classroom. We have a sophisticated programme of extra curricular activities that supports pupil’s learning and enables them to become lifelong learners.

ENRICHMENT Opportunities for learning beyond the classroom are extensive. We offer both entitlement and enrichment activities to all our pupils including various day trips and residential trips each year. Salvatorian College have achieved sporting excellence at local and county level. Pupils regularly compete in many different sports including rugby, football, athletics and cricket. Our art, music and drama facilities are improving to reflect the value we place on these subjects in our curriculum. Pupils have established a number of Arts clubs and societies and work with other schools through partnership and collaborations. Academic achievement is important, but we have a wider appreciation of what counts as achievement. We are regular participants and winners of the Harrow ‘Speak Out,’ Debating Competition. We participate in and have won the prestigious London Open House Architectural Competition. We have representatives on the Harrow Youth Parliament.

PASTORAL CARE – Pupil Welfare
At Salvatorian College, we identify, recognise and celebrate our pupils’ achievement at all levels. We encourage pupils to take responsibility for themselves, for each other, for our community and for our world.
Our pastoral care system meets the changing needs of pupils as they grow and develop. We seek to ensure that every child will have support throughout their education, and will feel very much part of their form, the year group, and the whole school.
We understand the importance of rewarding pupils when they do well and promote a motivational culture where pupils are actively encouraged to achieve their potential.
We expect the highest standards of behaviour, courtesy and respect between pupils and teachers alike.
