THE Broncos really are going all out to restore their glamour status, training at the exclusive $70,000 per year London school that taught Winston Churchill.
The Broncos will prepare for their World Club Challenge clash against Wigan at one of the United Kingdom's poshest schools, Harrow.
The Broncos are one of a select few sporting teams privileged to train on the hallowed fields of Harrow, a London private school that has produced eight British Prime Ministers.

Harrow has 16 cricket wickets, 14 rugby pitches, an athletics track, astro turf, tennis courts and a golf course.

A full schooling life at Harrow will cost upwards of $500,000AUS.
Students are not even allowed to walk on its main rugby field which has a surface rated better than Twickenham and Wembley.
In fact, the surface where the Broncos will train is rated the third best in England.
Harrow's sporting history is daunting. The school produced the first two Wimbledon champions, Spencer Gore and Frank Hadow, and invented squash.
The All Blacks are one of few teams invited to train at the ground and the Broncos were welcomed into the school because of a friendship between trainer Alex Corvo and Harrow director of sport Jesse Coulson.

Corvo also organised for the Kangaroos to train at the venue during the 2013 World Cup, which was the first time a league team had trained at Harrow.
"The facilities are brilliant and we are lucky to be there on behalf of Jesse," Corvo said.
"Jesse has actually come out to Australia and has an interest in league.
"The school has an amazing history and it is Harrow and Eton that are the most exclusive schools in England.
"I think it will be a great base for us because it has everything you could ever need."

Wayne Bennett, Corey Parker and Justin Hodges were the last Broncos to arrive in England, getting in to London today after leaving just hours after Friday night's All Stars clash.
They face a Wigan side featuring Matt Bowen on Saturday night (England time) in front of an expected 24,000 sell out.
Wigan and Brisbane have a grand history with the club regularly competing against each other in World Club Challenge matches during the 90s.
One famous game saw Gorden Tallis unload on Wigan toughnut Terry O'Connor who managed to get in a few of his own during an intense clash in 1997.
