Capital Projects - Building for the Future

Celebrating our past, refounding our future

Throughout Harrow's history, transformative construction projects have ensured the margin of excellence that distinguishes a Harrow education. The need for inspiring environments for Harrovians is as important today as it has been for the last 450 years.

a new Sports Centre 

Sport has, for centuries, been at the heart of Harrow School life.

Long associated with sporting excellence, Harrow School uses sport to develop boys’ character, resilience and leadership skills, to maintain health, wellbeing, and meet the boys’ leisure needs.

Through the Sporting Harrow campaign, fundraising is now underway for the new world-class Sports Centre, a transformational project that will create outstanding facilities for generations of Harrovians and open opportunities for young people in our partner schools and wider community. We are grateful for the generous donations we have already received, which will help ensure sport at Harrow continues to change lives, on and off the field.

The tradition of sport at Harrow

The School has a long tradition of sporting  achievement both in the heritage of modern  day sports such as football and squash, and at the highest level within the games themselves. There are many Old Harrovians who have become celebrated international sportsmen, and numerous others who play for universities, clubs and at county level; it is vital that we provide sports facilities of a calibre that will allow this great tradition to continue.

Celebrating sport at Harrow today

The essence of Harrow has been said by some to build a band of brothers; we do this through inculcating qualities that run like a thread through all that we do on the Hill, especially in  the sporting and super curricular offering. 

Harrovians are currently school national champions in several sports including rugby, swimming, judo and squash. With this ever-burgeoning  success, sport and related professions now offer a meaningful career pathway for a growing number of boys. 

Harrow has to be aspirational and provide a facility that can take us forwards and build on our exceptional sporting successes

Community benefit

"Working with the local community and with our fellow citizens to make our shared world a kinder, more rewarding  and tolerant place is a central strategic priority for Harrow School".

Alastair Land, Head Master

In addition to supporting our student  athletes at every level of participation, the new Sports Centre will enable the School to offer 1,300 hours free of charge, and an additional 400 hours at cost, each year for use by local schools, charities and organisations – an increase from 800 hours annually. 

Making our ambition a reality

Making the new Sports Centre a reality requires a team effort. Your support will help us deliver on our ambition and enable current and future Harrovians to reach their potential, at Harrow and in their lives beyond the Hill.

Past Projects

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Harrow community, we have already been able to deliver key elements of the School's Building for the Future initiative - part of the ongoing Harrow 450 Campaign. These include the construction of the new Biology and Chemistry Schools, as well as the full refurbishment of the Shepherd Churchill Dining Hall. More information about these projects can be found below.
