School Grounds
Harrow School is not built on a campus: it is fully integrated into the surrounding area; there are private houses and shops on Harrow Hill, and the main road through Harrow Hill is a normal public highway and indeed a bus route. Harrow School is made up of some 400 acres (160 ha) of playing fields, tennis courts, golf course, woodland and gardens.
Harrrow School also owns its own working farm. Currently on the farm are a herd of Longhorn cattle and a flock of Shetland sheep. Until 2003 it was a working dairy farm.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grounds:
“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“Christ and The Church: If he were to apply for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, adultery and desertion, he would probably get one.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
