Things to know before you apply for September 2027

  • In each of 2022 to 2026, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher.
  • Because the academy's own sibling rules can't be confirmed from Harrow's documents, families with a sibling priority aren't judged in years when places ran out (rules_uncertain); families on the distance criterion are.
