At Harrow we make sport fun for our boys and encourage their active and enthusiastic participation, at the same time producing highly motivated sportsmen who are good role models. As a consequence, sport is thriving at the School and we have an international reputation as a centre of sporting excellence. Many Harrovians go on to enjoy professional careers in sport.
Over 70 members of teaching staff, 25 Masters-in-Charge (MiC) of Sports and more than 60 professional coaches deliver our broad and diverse games programme. In addition to this we employ a Rugby Professional, Soccer Professional and a Cricket Professional. We offer a different main team game in each term and play a variety of other sports appropriate to the time of year. Our major sports are rugby union, football and cricket, but we are increasingly strong at athletics, swimming, tennis and squash. Fixtures take place mainly on Saturday afternoons, and our extensive and hotly contested inter-House sports programme engages boys in all 12 Houses in varied competitions. Unique occasions, like the annual cricket match against Eton at Lord’s, provide memorable highlights in our sporting calendar.
There is a timetabled Physical Education programme for Shell boys, which runs alongside the formal games programme for all boys. Boys are also able to choose Sports Science at A level and Physical Education at GCSE, for which the uptake is particularly healthy.
