✅Harrow Public School is a famous independent boarding school for boys located in Harrow, London, England. It was founded in 1572 by local nobleman John Lyon.
The school was formerly a monastery in the 12th century. Although it has a long history, it has very complete facilities, including advanced laboratories, tennis courts, cricket fields, golf courses, farms, observatories, etc. Harrow Public School not only focuses on the academic development of students, but also advocates the all-round development of students.
