Conscious of its history, culture and the charitable intentions of its Founder, Harrow responds to the demands of change by preparing boys for a life of leadership, service and personal fulfilment. Academic achievement is foremost amongst Harrow's goals which also promote independence of thought, respect for others, creativity and responsibility within a broad range of activities.

Above all, Harrow inspires boys to develop their talents and reach for excellence in everything they do. We also aim to develop in our pupils an appreciation of the interdependence of different parts of the world.

Our aims are:

• To offer high quality teaching which leads boys to develop an interest in academic work and very good exam results.
• To ensure an involvement by all pupils in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, delivered to a higher level than that achieved at most other schools and leading to personal fulfilment and the development of lifelong interests.
• To promote life skills including the ability to write and speak well, to foster the human qualities necessary for people to flourish within a community, and to encourage boys to develop qualities of leadership.
• To develop an appreciation of the spiritual dimension to life.
• To have a strong relationship with the local community.
