HAY Harrow 2021

HAY Harrow 2021
Thanks to our amazing partners in Harrow’s schools and colleges we were able to hear from 6,052 of our young people aged between 9-18+, which represents a quarter of the total population of that age group living in Harrow. We feel immensely privileged that they felt able to share with us their hopes, fears and struggles.
Harrow’s young people are ethnically diverse; they are more likely to be (British) Asian than White. If they are White, then they’re often from families with links to European countries outside the UK. 40% live in homes where a second language is spoken, most commonly (in rank order) Romanian, Arabic, Gujarati or Tamil.
6,052 young people answered the 2021 HAY Harrow Needs Analysis.
Overall our young people are doing well and are happy:
- 86% eat meals with their family several times a week or more
- Over 80% agree that their family helps and supports them and that their parents or carers are interested in what happens to them at school or college
- 80% say they like school or college a bit or a lot
- 82% say they agree they have a good friend or friends.
