It is the only school that is not an academy in the London Borough of Harrow.

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.^[3] In September 2010 the school moved to a new building.

Whitmore High School's last two Ofsted inspections, one in 2007^[4] and the latest in 2015,^[1] have both judged the school as "Outstanding".

Whitmore opened its sixth form in 2006 as part of the borough's "collegiate" post-16 offer.^[5] Along with the rest of the school, Whitmore's sixth form was judged as "Outstanding" by Ofsted in 2015.^[1]

The construction of a new sixth form block began in late 2013, and the finished building opened in 2015, consisting of six classrooms and a new sixth form common room and study area.
