The organisation: John Lyon’s Foundation is a Corporation that owns and operates two independent schools: Harrow School, a full-boarding senior school for boys, and John Lyon School, which – with its prep school – is a co-educational, all-through day school that was opened in 1876 to preserve John Lyon’s original aim of educating local pupils, as Harrow School’s pupils increasingly came from further afield.
Each school has its own alumni association – the Harrow Association (HA) for Harrow School and the Lyonian Association for John Lyon School.
The charter given to John Lyon also required him to endow a charitable trust that would maintain the Harrow and Edgware Roads from his school into central London. When “The Roads Trust”, as it was called, was relieved of its road-maintenance responsibilities in 1991, it became John Lyon’s Charity, which awards grants to help transform, through education, the lives of young people in the nine London boroughs close to the roads.
To generate income for its charitable purposes, the Corporation established three trading subsidiaries:
- Harrow School Enterprises Limited (HSEL) makes use of the Corporation’s assets when not required by its schools, and sub-licenses the use of the Harrow School brand by Harrow School Online.
- Harrow International Schools Limited (HISL) licenses Harrow School’s brand for use by the AISL Harrow Schools and Amity Harrow Schools around the world.
- Harrow Educational Investments Limited (HEIL) provides educational services to Intellego Education Limited, which is developing an international network of premium schools.
Separately, the Harrow Development Trust (HDT) was set up to fundraise primarily for the development of facilities and bursaries at Harrow School.
Together, these organisations make up John Lyon’s Foundation.
How to apply: Please submit an application using the ‘Apply Now’ button on this advertisement and include a letter of introduction. Applications will be processed as they are received, so early application is recommended.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome everyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service, and it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.
