Unveiling of The Eternal Schoolboy

The formal unveiling of The Eternal Schoolboy was performed by Freddie, Head of School, on Speech Day. 

Commissioned in 2021 as part of the School's 450th anniversary, the bronze sculpture by David Williams-Ellis - one of the UK’s leading sculptors and father of two Old Harrovians - stands as a celebration of the spirit of Harrow. 

The larger-than-life size sculpture is also, in part, a commemoration of George (Moretons 2016³), who died in 2021 at the age of 18, soon after leaving Harrow. It was thought fitting that George should be celebrated alongside the spirit of every Harrovian who has been, is, or will be educated at Harrow and expresses the living, purposeful vibrancy of boys’ lives at the School. It was George's brother Freddie who led the ceremony.
