Swanage, the capital of the Isle of Purbeck and approximately 2.5 hours from London,
is a popular seaside resort on the south coast of England, with long inviting expanses of
sandy beaches, clear unpolluted water and breathtaking coastal scenery. The town
provides a warm welcome to all visitors and retains an atmosphere of safety and
tranquillity. In a recent publication, Dorset was found to be the safest county in England.
Due to its geographical position, Swanage enjoys a very mild climate and often heads
the British Sunshine League.
Swanage offers a variety of entertainment including traditional pavement cafés,
takeaways, fun parks, carnivals, fairs, festivals, live music, cinema, theatre, disco, scenic
walks, museums, English pubs, speciality restaurants, wine bars, a ride on a historic
steam train and many other things to do. Swanage beach has been ranked among the
top 10 best beaches in England and Swanage Pier has been voted 'Pier of the Year 2012'.
Welcome to the Jurassic Coast - Swanage, listed as one of the top 4 seaside resorts
in the UK for cleanliness, safety and outstanding beauty, is considered to be the gateway
town to England's first natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. This unique stretch of
coastline has joined the ranks of the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon as one of
the wonders of the natural world. The coast is famous for its fossil discoveries, its
unparalleled range of beautiful sandy beaches and its many historic towns and villages.

Junior Courses
The first course offered at Harrow House in 1969 was a Junior Course,
which makes our Junior Programme one of the most established and
longest running Junior Courses in the UK.
The success of these courses is borne out by the very high student
return rate, with up to 40% of students returning for a second year
and many returning for a number of years thereafter.
Other contributing factors are:
Our unrivalled facilities, active evening programme with a wide range
of social activities, sport and games every night, dedicated teachers,
an international atmosphere with over 50 different nationalities (in
the summer season), supervision by our residential staff, on-site
residential accommodation and the safety of Swanage as a
destination to name but a few.
Outdoor Activities and Excursion Programmes are
weather dependent.
