Harrow International School Shenzhen Qianhai obtained the School License issued by the Management Committee of China (Guangdong) Pilot Free Trade Zone Qianhai & Shekou Area of Shenzhen on 7th September 2020 (license’s code: 4403132020001).

Recently, a media representative, without informing the school in advance, broke into the parking area during school dismissal time to film the school in the presence of a lot of children and parents, which led to a physical conflict between a security guard of the property company and the media representative. On the day of the incident, the Chinese Principal promptly apologised to the injured media representative in person and sent him flowers as a gesture of sympathy. The school also asked the property management company to further investigate and address the issue. On 30 November, the property company has already terminated the labour contract with the security guard and promised to improve and train the security team to take proper approach to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations required by the government, and in maintaining the safety of the school for students and teachers. At the same time, the school hopes that media personnel can make appointments in advance, show the relevant certificates, and conduct their activities with the permission of the school and in accordance with the regular process. 

Regarding the school bus service, more than 10 school bus routes are provided, and all are running in good condition. In this case, the parent did not accept the time allocated for the school bus to pick up the child at their station. Subsequently the parent gave up the bus service herself. The School at no stage cancelled the school bus service. 

With regards to the education consultation fee, we are looking into the matter. 

Today, the Head Master and the Chinese Principal of the school accepted a joint interview conducted by Guangdong Radio and Television and the Shenzhen Evening News in response to the questions raised. During which, the School also formally apologised to the reporter and Guangdong Radio and Television, and provided the relevant school certification materials.

声 明

深圳前海哈罗外籍人员子女学校已于2020年9月7日获取由中国(广东)自由贸易试验区深圳前海蛇口片区管理委员会颁发的《办学证明书》(编号:4403132020001),学校是根据《国家教育委员会关于开办外籍人员子女学校的暂行管理办法》、《广东省外籍人员子女学校管理指导意见》和《国务院关于支持深圳前海深港现代服务业合作区开发开放有关政策的批复》等相关政策法规,经批准设立的外籍人员子女学校,完全具备办学和招生资质。

近期,有关媒体人员在学校幼儿园放学时段,进入学校家长接送区域进行采访和拍摄时,与学校物业公司保安产生肢体冲突。当日,中方校长已及时向受到伤害的媒体人员当面致歉,并赠予鲜花表达慰问;学校也已要求物业公司深入调查和严肃处理。据悉,物业公司已于11月30日与该保安解除劳动合同,并承诺将进一步加强保安队伍的建设,确保在遵守政府要求的防疫规范和维护学校师生安全的同时,做到文明执勤。在此,学校也希望有关媒体能够按照常规流程事先预约,出示相关证件,经学校允许后,进行相关媒体活动。

对于校车服务,学校从线下开学之日起就开通了10余条校车线路,运营情况良好。该家长对校车在其站点接孩子的时间不接受,从而自行放弃,而非学校取消了校车服务。

关于家长反映的教育咨询费相关事宜,我们正在研究。

今天,学校中外方校长接受了广东广播电视台当事记者和深圳晚报记者的联合采访。在这次采访中,校方对该当事记者及其工作单位再三表示了歉意,当面回应了记者关心的问题,并提供了相关证明材料。

深圳前海哈罗外籍人员子女学校对办学资质、冲突事件、校车服务和相关费用的问题,特做此声明。

鉴于目前处于新冠疫情防控期间,根据防疫工作要求,学校无法接受与学校正常教学工作无关的人员进入校园。如您有需求,请联系学校communications@harrowshenzhen.cn。深圳前海哈罗外籍人员子女学校诚挚欢迎来自社会各界人士的监督,感谢大家对我校的支持和关注。
