You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

It provides education facilities to 1200+ boys in Forms I to VI. The school is served by a graduate staff of over 100 teachers.

Prince Edward School was ranked 6th out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility.<ref name="top20highschools">((cite web |url= http://www.africaalmanac.com/top20highschools.html |title= top20highschools |date= 1 October 2003 |website= Africa Almanac |publisher= Africa Almanac |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070114052056/http://www.africaalmanac.com/top20highschools.html#11 |archive-date= 14 January 2007 |url-status= dead |access-date= 19 June 2016 |quote= The research leading up to the publication of the 100 Best High Schools in Africa began with the launching of the website in December 2000.))</ref> Prince Edward School was also ranked as one of the Top 10 High Schools in Zimbabwe in 2014.<ref name="Top 10 High Schools in Zimbabwe">((cite web |author = DarrylYV8 |url= http://youthvillage.co.zw/2014/10/top-10-high-schools-in-zimbabwe/|title= Top 10 High Schools in Zimbabwe |date= 9 October 2014 |website= Youth Village Zimbabwe |publisher= Youth Village Zimbabwe |accessdate= 5 January 2015))</ref>

== History ==
Prince Edward was established in 1898 in Salisbury, [[Southern Rhodesia]] (now [[Harare]], [[Zimbabwe]]), as Salisbury Grammar. It was renamed Salisbury High School in 1906 and adopted its current name in 1925 when visited by [[Edward VIII|Edward, Prince of Wales]].<ref>((citation|editor=D. Berens|editor-link=D. Berens|year=1988|title=[[A Concise Encyclopedia of Zimbabwe]]|publisher=[[Mambo Press]]|location=Gweru|page=317)).</ref> It is the second oldest boys' school in Harare and in Zimbabwe after its main sporting rival, [[St George's College, Harare|St George's College]].

The School's badge is a crown and three feathers, granted to it by Prince Edward (later [[King Edward VIII]] of the UK) in the 1920s. The school's colours are maroon and dark green. For its centenary, Prince Edward School adopted a new [[coat of arms]] which does not replace the school's badge. The motto of the school "Tot Facienda Parum Factum" ("So much to do, So little done") is attributed as [[Cecil John Rhodes]]' last words.

In 2010 a former master at the school, [[Douglas Robb (schoolmaster)|Douglas Robb]], became headmaster of [[Oswestry School]] in England and developed links between the two schools.<ref>Tim Jefferis, [http://tjjteacher.com/post/douglas-robb-this-is-your-life "Douglas Robb: This is Your Life"] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327162044/http://tjjteacher.com/post/douglas-robb-this-is-your-life |date=27 March 2019 )) dated 7 September 2014 at tjjteacher.com, accessed 27 March 2019</ref>

=== Name controversy ===
In 2002, before the March 2002 presidential elections, the Ministry of Education announced plans to change names of all government schools that had colonial connotations.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/britains-colonial-heritage-is-wiped-out-across-the-nation-names-659721.html Government School names]((dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref> Scores of government schools were set to have their names changed to honour liberation war heroes, past national and African personalities and/or the suburban area in which the school is located. Prince Edward School was set to be renamed Murenga Boys High School after a Njelele high spirit said to have assisted the local heroes who fought the First Chimurenga of 1896–7. The change of names did not occur but in its wake, as a compromise, the Games Houses within the school had their colonial names changed to those of rivers in Zimbabwe.

== Alumni ==
Prince Edward old boys are called "Old Hararians". The Old Hararians Association was founded in 1922 and maintains very close ties with the school.

Old Hararians contain many national team and "A" team, such as [[Vusi Sibanda]], [[Prosper Utseya]] and Ryan Butterworth.<ref>Brmtaylor.com list of club cricketers [http://www.brmtaylor.com/club_players.html "Brendan Taylor – Zimbabwe Club Cricket Players"]</ref>
