Orley Farm School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orley Farm School is a school in the London borough of Harrow, at the foot of Harrow Hill. It was founded as a preparatory school for Harrow School, although now only a few leavers go on there. It currently has a little under 500 pupils.

In September 2006, the former headmaster Ian Elliot retired, and the new head is Mark Dunning.

As "Hastings School", it was founded in 1850 by the first headmaster, Edward Hastings. The school houses are named Hastings, Hopkins, Broadrick (after former headmasters) and Julians. The last was the name of a property purchased by the school which happened to have been owned by the family of Anthony Trollope. Trollope described the house in his novel Orley Farm and Hastings, recognising the description, gained permission to rename the school "Orley Farm".

Notable former pupils include Robin Butler, a retired senior civil servant, Dale Winton and Anthony Horowitz, the author of children's books. (Although he claims to have bbeen 'traumatized' by this part of his life after being beaten)
