SEND Provision

Harrow’s bursary funding supports several pupils who would not otherwise be able to afford the School’s fees. In 2021/22 143 pupils benefited from bursaries amounting to £3,125,000, with 35 attracting remission of at least 95% and a further 78 attracting remission between 50% and 95%. We continue to increase bursary funding through income from the Harrow International Schools and through donations via the Harrow Development Trust.

Admissions Criteria

In line with our Admissions Policy, we welcome boys who will thrive in a boarding environment, will make a positive contribution to life at the School, are talented academically or in sport, the arts or other areas, and have a good behavioural record and potential to show leadership. Suitable Year 12 applicants are likely to be predicted at least seven or eight GCSE passes (grade 7/8/9).
