Harrow School wins Good Schools Guide GCSE Award
Harrow School has won the 2009 Good Schools Guide GCSE Award for Boys taking D&T Engineering at GCSE at an English Independent School, and the GSCE Award for Boys taking Astronomy at an English School. The Guide made this award on the basis of the School's Key Stage 4 results for the three years 2006, 2007 and 2008 combined, and in particular on the basis of the popularity of each subject relative to similar schools, and of the success that pupils achieve relative to the other examinations that they take. The aim is to highlight excellent teaching in individual subjects. Click here to go to the Harrow School page on the Good Schools Guide website.

Twelfth boarding house gets funding, name and new House Master
In December, Harrow School's Governors gave the go-ahead for the new boarding house. The new House will join the eleven existing Houses, and will eventually be home to around 70 boys.
In January, work started on the demolition of Peterborough Cottage and the site was cleared ready for the start of construction. While this was going on, there was great excitement and debate over the name for the House, with correspondence and comment in The Harrovian culminating in a vote by the boys in Speech Room. The overwhelming popularity of "Lyon’s House” as the chosen name of the boys and many staff members meant that this was an inevitable choice for the name of the new House.
The next development was the selection of the House Master. An historic post, in that this is the first new House to open at Harrow in over a century. >>Click on the link in Latest News on the right for more on this story
