Each pupil at Harrow School Online has a Success Coach, and from day one receives carefully tailored career planning and expert coaching on university selection. Pupils are supported to help them achieve to their very highest potential: The Success Coach aims to develop in them the skills and mindset required for success, both at our school and beyond. The Success Coach works with pupils to develop their academic, personal and social skills, through fortnightly one-to-one coaching sessions and small group workshops specifically tailored to pupils’ needs. Careful guidance is provided to pupils on how to become effective, independent learners.
The Success Coach works not just with pupils, but also parents and mentors, to support pupils as they progress. Our teachers proudly maintain open channels of communication with parents and mentors regarding any academic issues, and the Success Coach is the first point of contact for any pastoral or non-academic issues. Whether helping pupils with test preparation, university applications, or mock interviews, the Success Coach gives their pupils the best possible support – setting them up for success.
The Success Coach is not solely committed to ensuring that pupils meet their academic potential, but also works diligently to promote pupils’ social, moral and cultural development. While academic studies may take primacy, a key part of the Success Coach’s role is to encourage pupils to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities, ranging from the school newspaper to the STEM Club. Pupils are encouraged to not only cultivate their own passions outside of academia, but to also develop new and healthy interests, providing multiple opportunities to build relationships with their fellow Online Harrovians.
