Around 837 boys study at Harrow and live in the School’s 12 boarding houses. Employees particularly value the School’s beautiful green estate, the positive working environment, and good relationships with their colleagues.
The Department
The Geography Department at Harrow School is housed in the Churchill Schools building where colleagues routinely have their own classroom, access to a departmental library, office and resource room. All colleagues teach across the age and ability range, tending to specialise in either Physical or Human Geography in the Sixth Form. The department is a close team, sharing resources at regular departmental meetings and working together effectively both in School and in the field.

They will contribute to the Super‑Curriculum, which includes Electives, lectures and other academic extension, attend Chapel regularly and Speech Room (assembly) one weekly. They will also be a tutor in a House, supporting the House Master in the pastoral care of a group of boys, teach PSHEE to a tutor group and contribute to extra‑curricular activities, which are an important part of boarding‑school life.
Support and training to achieve Qualified Teacher Status can be offered if required. We occasionally appoint Masters with outstanding qualities and a good degree who do not have a formal teaching qualification.
