Schools in Harrow, London
Formed in 1965 from Middlesex parishes whose boundaries had been fixed in 1934, Harrow spreads across the hills of outer north-west London, bordering Hertfordshire at its northern edge. Around 261,000 people live across Harrow today.
Harrow on the Hill is widely regarded as one of north-west London's most competitive postcodes for state and grammar school places, with Canons Park and Edgware drawing families who target strong secondary options along the borough's eastern fringe. From Harrow and Wealdstone, London Overground services reach Euston in around twenty minutes, and the Metropolitan line from Harrow on the Hill connects directly to Baker Street and the City. Pinner and Hatch End form the quieter western residential quarters, stretching towards the Hertfordshire border.
