History
Whitmore High School was created in September 1974 when the London Borough of Harrow adopted a comprehensive system of education. It was formerly two schools on one site, Lascelles Boys' Secondary School and Lascelles Girls' Secondary School.
Whitmore is now an established community comprehensive school with a sixth form and is a specialist Science College.[4] In September 2010 the school moved to a new building, designed to support modern education and specialist facilities.
Whitmore High School's last three Ofsted inspections, one in 2007,[5] one in 2015,[1] and the latest one in 2025,[6] have all judged the school as "Outstanding".
