[edit] History

The site was formerly the home of Harrow County School for Boys. In the mid-1970s, when the London Borough of Harrow adopted a comprehensive system of education, the school became known as Gayton High School, an all boys school. Gayton High School was the last school in Harrow to become comprehensive in September 1975. Later, in 1998, the school became coeducational and changed it's name to Harrow High School, a specialist Sport's College.
