What is the competition for places?
Each year, we have around 600 applications for 160 places in the Shell. What kind of boy is Harrow looking for? One who will make the most of the opportunities Harrow offers: boys who are generally bright, with an enthusiastic attitude to school life, the potential to show great leadership and the sort of personality that will make a notable contribution to our community.

Should applicants studying overseas attend a UK prep school prior to Harrow, or can they remain abroad?
Around 50% of those who take up a Year 9 place do attend a UK prep school. This can help them to improve their English, to become more familiar with our curriculum and to prepare for many aspects of life at a British boarding school.

Must applicants studying at schools overseas take the Common Entrance examinations?
Yes, although those not following the Common Entrance syllabus are only required to take a limited range of papers in the core subjects, for setting purposes. Applicants do not need to have studied French or Latin previously.
