We welcome applications from boys at any school, whether they are at a prep school, state school in the UK, or at an overseas school. There are a few schools who send us many boys each year, but we do not give preferential treatment to boys from any particular schools. Our advice to parents when choosing a school with a view to your son coming on to Harrow afterwards, is to look for one that offers a wide range of activities outside the classroom, as well as good academic and pastoral support. This will give you a good idea of whether your son is suited to Harrow, and will increase his chances of getting into the School as he will have more to offer in terms of a range of interests. Having said that, if your son is enthusiastic, bright, and ready to make the most of Harrow’s opportunities, then it does not matter which school he is currently attending.
