Harrow County School for Girls


Harrow County School for Girls, sometimes called Harrow County Grammar School for Girls, was a grammar school in Harrow. It was established in 1914. It closed in 1975 when the London Borough of Harrow adopted a comprehensive system of education.

Architecture

The architects of Middlesex County Council favoured a historicist style for schools, and the original building is described in Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England as being in 'minimal Queen Anne style'.

Facilities

In 1972 the New Scientist carried a report on educational reorganisation in Harrow which noted that the school had four laboratories compared to eight at Harrow County School for Boys.
