What is the catchment area for Harrow School?
The catchment area for Harrow School is the geographic zone Harrow uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and, in most years, faith-based criteria. Harrow publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
