Harrow High School is a co-educational academy in the London Borough of Harrow and a specialist Sports College. It was previously called Gayton High School and Harrow County School for Boys. The school has a sixth form for post-16 studies part of the Harrow Sixth Form Collegiate. There was an independent school with the same name on a nearby site until the late 1980s.

History

Harrow County School for Boys crest.

The school was formerly Harrow County School for Boys, a grammar school. In 1975, when the London Borough of Harrow adopted the comprehensive system of education, it was renamed Gayton High School (after its address on Gayton Road); it remained an all-boys school.

In 1998, the school became coeducational and changed its name to Harrow High School.

Academy

On 1 August 2011, Harrow High School officially gained academy status.

Independent school

The name "Harrow High School" had formerly belonged to an independent school which, until its closure in the late 1980s, occupied a site across the road from the current school.

Old Gaytonians Association (OGA)

The Old Gaytonians Association gained its first two members in October 1911 but the association was officially established on 27 September 1912. It was closed on 30 September 2016.

It was named after the school publication of the same name, this name was chosen because the school site was on 'Gayton Road'.
