Harrow School (/ˈhæroʊ/) is a public school (traditional description in the UK of elite fee-charging boarding schools) for boys providing boarding school facilities in Harrow on the Hill, London. The school was founded in 1572 by John Lyon, a local landowner and farmer, under a royal charter of Queen Elizabeth I.
The school has an enrollment of about 820 boys, all of whom board full-time, in twelve boarding school houses. It was one of the seven public schools selected for reform in the Public Schools Act 1868. Harrow's uniform includes morning suits, straw boater hats, and top hats and canes for School Monitors.
