Harrow School (/ˈhæroʊ/)[1] is a public school (English boarding school for boys) in Harrow on the Hill, Greater London, England.[2] The school was founded in 1572 by John Lyon, a local landowner and farmer, under a royal charter of Queen Elizabeth I.
The school has an enrolment of about 820 boys, all of whom board full-time, in twelve boarding houses.[3] It was one of the seven public schools selected for reform in the Public Schools Act of 1868. Harrow's uniform includes morning suits, straw boater hats, top hats and canes.
Its list of distinguished alumni includes seven former British prime ministers: Aberdeen, Perceval, Goderich, Peel, Palmerston, Baldwin and Churchill, as well as the former Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru; numerous former and current members of both Houses of the UK Parliament, several members of various royal families, three Nobel Prize winners, twenty Victoria Cross holders, and many prominent figures in the arts and sciences.
