These are powerful memories and good examples of Classical reception. When deciding on the topic for the first edition of the Classics Library Journal, I considered how important Classical reception was to teaching. The fact that our students’ perceptions have been influenced by modern interpretations and versions of the Classical world is not something we necessarily focus on in the secondary school classroom, in fact, we often find ourselves cursing their exposure to it (I have done exam marking on the Persian Wars topic and can easily imagine the teachers’ frustration at their students’ inability to differentiate between Herodotus’ Leonidas and Gerard Butler’s).

    Harrow Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document Harrow School Adopted July 2015 Supplementary Planning Document HARROW SCHOOL July 2015 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 02 2.0 Planning Policy Context 07 3.0 Historical and Present Context 15 4.0 Characteristics of the site 17 5.0 The Masterplan Vision / Achieving the Vision 24 6.0 Design Considerations 36 7.0 Phasing of Development at Harrow School 42 8.0 Monitoring the SPD 44 Appendices A: Harrow School Chronology 45 B: Views 51 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Supplementary Planning Document has been developed to help Harrow School strengthen its role as a world-class education institution by outlining an agreed masterplan for the development and change of the School Estate over the next 20 years. Such an approach is consistent with the School’s site allocation in the Harrow Local Plan. 1.2 Since its formation in 1572, the School has needed to develop and adapt to meet the demands of its changing academic and accommodation requirements. This need for continual change is no less pressing today. Whilst there is no intention to increase student numbers, in order to maintain the current high standards, the School needs to look forward and to plan for development and change over the next 20 years. 1.3 Much of the existing Harrow School estate has development constraints and is not ideally suited to modern teaching and boarding requirements. New buildings are required that are modern, flexible and adaptable in order that they will remain viable in a continually changing academic environment. The School’s faculty structure requires close inter-relationships and ease of access between specific departments.
